So many massage therapists, stupid home scooters, etc. Awesome waste. Millions of stupid jobs, fleets of autos, computers, luxury medical devices for apnea to mobility crap and so on is slowly being curtailed.

It is about time. Doctors writing expensive prescriptions for strange people to travel around the country to massage people who never needed it. Waste, fraud and corruption. It should only be the essential stuff, damn it! Everything about it and the insurance companies are unrealistic. You have to go to the drug store every 30 days for 30 tablets. It is absurd. I could cite hundress or thousands of example of this boneheaded crappolla.

I favor public option healthcare, but I want it to set the example for utter speed, efficiency and economy. The nuns who ran St. Mary’s Hospital where I was born long ago, watched every penny plus everybody was quick, buttoned up and on time. run this damn new new healthcare system like that and thing will quickly improve. ship up or shape out, follow orders or look elsewhere!

there are simply too many examples of things like railroads and utilities that know how to get things done on time and under budget. undue political influence is usually the root of all waste, corruption and failure of any public endeavor.

Politicians make organizations worse, not better, Public institutions are potentially the most efficient of any kind of organization. Even in the 60s grads always chose private vs. government jobs. But political influence reverse this. Now the tail wags the dog. government work MUST exist but it has been a terrible budget dominating organization, where the workers are overpaid, over protected and spoiled rotten. There is no excuse for their benefits. It was not that long ago where government jobs were starter jobs or a last resort before retirement. millions of low skill jobs that are overpaid, vastly overpaid. They make nothing and sell nothing. the reward system is all f’d up. When my daughter finished law school, years ago, she did no consider taking a government job. boring, low pay, and little chance to expand. now, grads are contemplating a long career in government. relatively good pay, almost tenure and excellent benis. That is a bad thing. It is not sustainable if you understand anything about Macroeconomics. There must be a market to sustain government and goernment jobs. Government cannot continue unless a whjole lot of people are making some money that can be taxed. Government gotta have tax revenue, right?
Our healthcare system and our public education costs twice as much with measured results that are twice as bad than comparable nations.
