How well are other Goverment Programs working?

OK. If you want to know how any Government Health Care program will work, just look around at how other government programs are working.

Keep in mind, that civil servants or government employees do not have the sting of possible termination or accountability hanging over their heads to help assure they do their job properly.

As a result, the end effect of any government program is inefficiency and unaccountability.

They are not, and cannot be held accountable for any errors they make because they work for the government.

Their incompetence and inability to do the job they were hired for is not viewed as a defect or fault, but rather a personality trait that must be tolerated.

It is nothing more than a quirk in their personality that the people that pay their salary and ‘serve’ must put up with.

The indifference they display toward those they ‘serve’ is only matched by their complete lack of personal responsibility they have for any of their actions.

They always want to pass the blame to some other person or department.

What got me going was a story about school nurses who gave flu shots to students who were not suppose to get them. Not only did one nurse administer the shot....

I think the $24,000 cost per clunker says it all. The problem is NOT just low level bureaucrats who lack incentives for efficiency. It’s also that their paymasters way too often are thoroughly ignorant of Econ 101. Consequently, they repeatedly adopt policies that common sense or even a tiny bit of education (or real-world business experience) would tell them cannot and will not work as advertised. Vast sums of taxpayer dollars are squandered as a consequence.

my daughter went to the health office at the community college. She wanted an alcohol wipe for her ear lobe, her earring was causing her earlobe to bleed.

They told her they would see her in two weeks. She said by that time, it will be better and left

That is how our health care system will work. Patient heal thyself, OR, die.

Culling the human population.
