And why are these paper shufflers supposed to have guaranteed employment, when the rest of us are seen as expendable?

You keep asking about "why" and "supposed to." Again, those are the wrong questions. Regardless of whether it is good that we have a larger share of our workforce in health care (16%) than France (9%), the fact is that we do.

The U.S. workforce is about 160 million, so the delta between a France-proportioned health-care system and our current one is about 11 million people. So trying to change to a France-proportioned workforce would require culling about 11 million people. Which is not something that is politically feasible.

They're not guaranteed employment - but they are guaranteed to resist changes that threaten their livelihood. With no JC's needed.
