every time I seek medical care.
From where I sit I believe that could be considered efficient.......  |
Yup, well oiled machine.

Stimulus Checks Mistakenly Sent to 1,700 Inmates, Federal Agency Says
The inspector general's office for the Social Security Administration is looking into the problem as part of its broader audit on stimulus spending. The Social Security Administration acknowledged the $425,000 glitch following a report that nearly two-dozen inmates in Massachusetts had wrongly received the $250 stimulus checks.

I guess my real issue is why people in favor of Obamacare can't admit that is essentially a 'roll of the dice' as far as success and failure go. I get that the US has become a handout society that insists on punishing the efficient for the inefficient..fine. But can we at least not completely corrupt the game? Go ahead and address health care costs however, leave "public (i.e. paid by taxpayers) options" off the table.
Social Security is an epic failure. For some reason people just don't do the math on it and assume "we'll figure something out". One plus one is two, not two and a half..the numbers just don't work. So people want to take a system that has basically turned its back on responsibility and give the originator more power. Wow. That is really all you can say...wow. And that logic, at its core, really explains why all people are not created equal. Some see individual responsibility as the cornerstone, some see communal responsibility as the cornerstone.
