The "doc fix" is instructive - when faced with imposing a significant cost on a small group of organized people, but which would have yielded a benefit to all U.S. taxpayers,
I'm hazy on how that "doc fix" was supposed to work. If it was an arbitrary cut in reimbursement rate, without addressing the "administrative overhead", all it would do would be to shortchange the people who actually care for patients, while the paper shufflers are unscathed. In other words, it was set up to fail. Same thing with the tax on high end plans, and the personal mandate. Nothing touches the administrative overhead.
