In the US you can still sue the perp if you can show that they acted outside the boundaries of their duties, and thus were not "engaged in a government function."
Alternately, if you can show that the "government function" was deficient, excessive, or not legal, you can fight unlimited numbers of government attorneys and appeals processes until, if you win, the government will be ordered by the court to... change their policies. And you're out your damages and costs.
This is what happens when you reverse the sovereignty relationship of the government and the people through corporate dominance. Hell, this is WHY people strive so hard to reverse it. Except that the US is the only place it's actually reversed, which is why we have so many mealy-mouthed, lying liar legal experts here. In other places, such as Sweden, they don't have to lie - the people are the open property of the government, no matter what they're called.
Aspirin! That's the ticket! One should always give blood thinners to profusely bleeding indivduals!
It's a wonder the "nurse" didn't suggest sprinkling the wound with salt & powdered sassafras bark, then binding it with fresh spider webbing...while chanting a few runes for good measure.
Glad to know I wasn’t the only one thinking that!
When the government controls such things as healthcare, expect your continued existance to depend on your political value.
