I can't believe how the government can totally blow a simple thing like DTV transition. They blew the following:
* Estimate the number of people who would elect to get the box.
* Process claims in a timely manner
* Get funds allocated to handle additional demand.
Now lets apply this same scenario to government run health care system.
* Can we trust them to estimate number of a flu cases this season
* Can they be trusted to process Rx claims in case of an large outbreak, at least the first one. And we afford such a failure ?
* Will they get resources allocated, in time, when they found out they screwed up ?
I am still waiting to see how much of the DTV program was actually wasted in administrative costs. I know they already run medicare, medicaid and VA health system. And everyone knows they aren't models of success either. Still, I am amazed how many people argue-for/promote government run health care programs for "everyone". Can anyone expect anything other than universally lousy/horrible healthcare ?
