Hey bud - government is us.  Its we the people - it represents you & me.  So if government is bad - then so are we.   At least we have the power to fix it if we want to.  The US system is insane.  Imagine having to factor you health care into every career decision...living in fear of losing your coverage...worrying about a loved one who falls out of coverage...  Canada does healthcare best.  Can it be better? - yes it can be continuously improved.   I take exception with the article though there is no room for smugness.  Real human people are going to die untimely deaths because of Trump and the Republican Party's abject immorality on this issue.
