A recipe for fraud ..

Anyone that has had to deal with bureaucracy at any level has faced the frustration that makes healthcare tied to the government a really poor decision. Medicare patients have to have a supplemental policy to cover what Medicare will not cover and some doctors will not take Medicare. Texas low income families on the state CHIPS childcare program also find that some medical facilities will not take CHIPS patients, their complaint being that the state is not paying them. CASH FOR CLUCKERS has some dealers on the ropes due to the bureaucratic maze that makes it agonizingly slow to get paid by government bureaucracy. Bureaucracy at work.

Government bureaucracy moves very slowly, a very powerful argument against national health care. That’s not the only argument. The track record of waste and fraud in government is irrefutable. Bureaucracy survives on the sweat of the working American, an apparent endangered species due to the antics of current government.

It would seem to be treasonous to vote for legislation one has not bothered to read (and understand) when they are elected to represent us. This is at the very least unethical and might should make one liable in a civil suit. Setting precedents by circumventing The Constitution to the point of Its’ irrelevancy should wake up The Supreme Court. No, we do not need any level of government bureaucracy tied to our health care. Tort reform and malpractice insurance limits makes much more sense, and may even be constitutional.
