In a bureaucracy, people do not matter. What matters are the elite administrators and their social plan.

The plan is the intent. It does not matter how the plan is implemented. Lying, deception, suffering, and death are all permissible in a bureaucratic health care plan as long as the goals of the plan are achieved.

In a government health care plan the people are promised that the plan will provide them with great “free” health care. They, the governed, are highly taxed to pay for the plan. They, the people, end up waiting in line.

Many patients and physicians will embrace the plan, as they believe the plan will take care of them and remove the bureaucratic hassle of the current health care system. By the time they realize the solution is far worse than the current system, the plan is fixed in place and the managers and bureaucrats are in firm and unrelenting control.

Most patients like the plan as their minor health care problems are quickly addressed. This keeps 96% of the patients happy. When one falls into the 4% of the patients who need serious specialized care, the reality of the plan first hits home. The delays and denials of care can be overwhelming. Those who do not survive the delays and rationing will no longer drain money from the plan.

"I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them." Thomas Jefferson
