Don't Speak of That Which You Don't know

It’s no secret that I’m not a big fan of politicians. As such, I’m vehemently against increasing their involvement in our healthcare. There are many things the government could do to improve access to healthcare & lower costs for all Americans (patients, providers, developers, pharmaceuticals, etc.). All the intelligent solutions involve decreasing bureaucracy, which of course the government will never do. Instead they prefer to find a problem & increase it in the hope of somehow improving everything. Duh.

Examples of Gross Government Failure

The aforementioned 60 Minutes story also speaks to Medicare patients who have reported fraud but insist that nothing has been done about it. One woman has been reporting fake charges to her account since 2003 but more than 6 years later, Medicare hasn’t put a stop to it.
