[The Great RJ]

The UK National Health System employs 1.7 million people (5th largest employer in the world) to deliver health care to a population of 59 million people and that is with a single health care payer and mostly government owned hospitals and clinics. The number of bureaucrats needed to staff these 159 new agencies and commissions as well as the regulators in HHS and the state health care cooperatives based on this experience would be staggering.
