Pundits keep saying OC is near death or dead.
Bull, as long as the government is forcibly confiscating my money for not being able to afford the overpriced and lousy coverage that is called OC, then it is not dead.
The reality is that bureaucracy and the numbers of ‘administrators’ have grown markedly since the anticipation and then implementation of Obamacare. These people, whose jobs don't involve actually taking care of patients, are comfortable in their well-paid (often much more than physicians) administrative roles, and they are in no hurry to see the system change in a way that could threaten their gravy train.
