It is the cost of paperwork that has driven up the cost of healthcare.

Imagine how much more layers of lunacy this bill will pile on overburdened health providers.

Many years ago, physicians’ practices had more doctors and nurses than office workers. Today, most practices have to contract ‘administrators’ or hire dozens of clerks to keep records, update DEA, hospital privileges, HMO panels, obtain permissions/referrals, bill Medicare, submit insurance claims and file for bankruptcy.
