You could just as well claim that of every single government function including national defense. But the truth is that the absence of government results in Somalia.
I don't want to have to hire a lawyer or get a law degree to buy insurance. The history of abuses by insurance companies is long and at least some regulation of insurance companies is very warranted.
All things in moderation. I don't want big government, but I definitely want national defense and insurance regulation among other things.
KY can do what it wants. It's their right.

What if they change their mind and don't want insurance regulation? Insurance regulation and national defense don't belong in the same sentence. Kind of an insult to our men and women in uniform, don't you think?
And what's with the Somalia strawman? Pure DU. The left always says that if we cut the size of the federal government it's automatically Somalia. Pure Moveon.org talking points.
“I don’t want to have to hire a lawyer or get a law degree to buy insurance.”
Why not? Are you not capable of it? Do you hire a lawyer to do other things for you?
Government should only do the things that private individuals can’t do, not the things that they can do but don’t “want” to do. Common defense is something individuals can’t do.
The mess we are in is precisely because of thinking like your, everyone picks the thing they don’t want to do and expects the government to do it. Trouble is everyone’s idea of that thing is different, pretty soon we have a nanny state that doing everything for everyone.
