Health Care BS

Many observers, including a large contingent of Obots covering for the President, have blamed the Flight 253 terrorism incident on Janet Napolitano—-and she is indeed incompetent.

But Napolitano is just a symptom. The disease is government bureaucracy. Emmett Tyrrell summarizes the multiple failures of our Homeland Security apparatchiks in the American Spectator:

All failed repeatedly to recognize the threat that this terrorist, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab (UFA) posed. UFA’s father, a prominent Nigerian, had warned our CIA about his son’s growing radicalism and possible indoctrination into jihadist terror in Yemen. With intolerable slowness, the CIA handed over its information to the Directorate of National Intelligence’s National Counterterrorism Center. What the Counterterrorism Center did with the information is unclear.

This is how all government bureaucracies, including those charged with managing health care, operate. At best, they are slow and incompetent. And they are often venal as well.

And yet the President and his congressional accomplices want to add a new layer of incomptetent bureaucracies to our already over-regulated health care system.

Can anyone actually be naïve enough to think that creating more than 100 new health care bureaucracies to meddle in health care will improve the way our medical system works?
