Can you guess how large, complicated and expensive it would be for the Government to administer a "medical data base for 30M people + administering the laws governing insurance" assuming there is a 'private' clause in the bill that is passed. . They can't even set up systems to cross check terrorists from coming into the USA.Just take a guess as to the number of programmers, administrative people, managers, support (HR, etc.) designers, systems engineers, and mega more employees will be required? Also include the hardware that will be needed and the need to design more hardware to support the programs. Include the need to identify the people who qualify vs those that don't, illegals, etc.etc.etc.
It is truly mind bogging. From experience I can say that such a program would be almost impossible to design without missing the target by at least 25% on top of the fact that the technical people are not even available today. Talk about biting off more than you can chew. This is a great example of a government out of control!!
