I agree with your statement completely. Without the government, sicknesses would become more frequent and more dangerous. Simple illnesses that would normally be treatable, would become extremely infectious diseases that would harm many. Although medicines and drugs would still be available, the missing regulations could cause them to do more harm to the user than help, possibly making things worse. Plus, doctors would no longer be employed and trusted by the government, so the illness may be left unknown for a long period of time. Independent doctors could be untrustworthy and not know what they are doing because of lack of education. Thankfully we have a government today to help keep medicines regulated and sicknesses not as dangerous as they could be.

I believe that in our world today, having a government is extremely necessary. Without a government, we would be lacking many crucial things. Without a government, many things would be unsafe, and not just by crime. First, running water would not be regulated. If the water isn't regulated, daily tasks would become almost impossible to complete. Water would become unsafe to drink, bathe in, wash things in and leave would force many tasks to be left undone. Another way life would be unsafe is through the weather. Although it doesn't sound major, the government collects all information and sends out information about temperature, precipitation, and major storms like hurricanes and tornadoes. People would be completely blindsided by events that could that could cause many deaths or damage. When preparing for the day people would have to prepare for hot, cold, rainy, or sunny weather because no one would know. Many things would become unknown because the information from the government is no longer there. Crime rates would also skyrocket. With no police patrolling to stop criminals, people would get away with whatever, making all towns unsafe to live in.

Governments also help keep countries unified. Without someone leading the country, several people or groups of people would try to rise up and lead in power, most likely breaking the country into multiple smaller countries. Because of the split, languages and dialect would change. Then because education would no longer be a thing, newer generations would learn the dialect spoken close to them, making the separation even further. The one country would become chaotic and wouldn't be one country anymore.

Luckily, we have a government to regulate things, keep their citizens safe, and unified as one country.
