“If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it’s free.”

I am a full-time medical bureaucrat and I can tell you unequivically that most people haven’t the foggiest notion how totally fouled up the bureaucracy is. The politicians have no idea what policies the regulators actually erect to implement the laws passed. The policy makers who run the agencies are completely deluded about how their own employees actually interpret and implement the rules they set down, and even the most cynical and critical providers actually vastly overestimate the degree of actual intelligience and intentionality that lies behind the paper torture to which they are subjected.

The only thing that keeps actual medical care flowing to patients enrolled in these government programs are providers who ignore the regulators and plod on regardless of how much they get punished for doing the right thing, and others who with bubbly misguided optimism think that they are going to figure it out and make it work one day.

Meanwhile the sociopaths who milk the programs providing sham medical care proceed unimpeded because the bureaucracy doesn’t have the courage or energy to call a liar a liar and stop them.

It was a bad day at work. Thank God for anonymous posts.

Yeah, we want THIS guy in the White House.
