... it's politically unpopular to take steps that would result in ten million plus people losing their jobs.
Seems we have reached an impasse. You hold that 7% of the workforce has the political juice to make their jobs inviolate, even though they contribute nothing to patient care. I hold that, if the 80% of the workforce who are paying for those unproductive jobs knew how their health care dollars are being wasted, the fact that they outnumber the paper shufflers more than 10 to 1 would make the elimination of that "administrative overhead" a political imperative.
I have enjoyed this discussion. Nice to know I can still hold my own in a debate.
