I really don't think the government has a right to tell people how much they are allowed to make, how high their salaries can be. I don't think the government should have any role in dictating prices or any other intrusion into a private business unless laws are being broken and they are going to prosecute someone.
The "government" is a collection of ambitious, power-hungry politicians who pander to this side by promising money they are going to steal from that side. They are 10 times more greedy than any insurance company. And if the day comes that they are competing with the insurance companies, you can be sure the coverage will be worse, the quality will go down, and the guys at the top will roll around in all the taxpayer money and buy expensive jets so they can fly to Paris to have dinner with their wives.
I don't think that we should assume that government is the answer to every problem. That seems to be the automatic thought these days "the government should do something about that!" but the government is simply a collection of people who are supposed to be representing their constituents at home. Only problem is once they get there, a lot of them like the view and the perks and decide to make a business out of it.
But, that's how I feel about government. You're free to have a more benign view of them.
