7. Some people I've talked to ....
say they would actually rather have a bureaucrat from the insurance companies involved in medical decisions instead of a government bureaucrat. I point out that the insurance companies have a profit motive where the government doesn't. People have been so anti-government brainwashed that they think the government is evil and inept while anybody out to make a buck is more efficient and somehow cheaper for the consumer. I have pointed out to people that Medicare's admin costs are much less than private plans, and have been told to my face that I'm wrong.

Stupidity abides.
