I totally agree. But, it is amazing to me how many people believe that the opposite is true. They think that turning over health care to the Federal Government and eliminating competition will result in more efficiency and lower cost. Having worked as an Inspector General in the Federal Government, I observed what happens when you turn over billions of taxpayer dollars to Government employees. There is enormous waste. The money gets wasted because many of them don't view it as real money that hard working people actually worked for and earned. It becomes like Monopoly money to them.
