Do We Really Want The Government To Be An Insurance Co. Too?

Think about it for just a second. When you need something from a Fedreal or State agency, how long does it take to get the information you need over the phone?

How long does it take to get an actual person on the phone and once you do how long does it take to get to one that actually can help you? 5 minutes? Not even on the best day.

20 minutes? Maybe if you just need an address?

How about 45 minutes? The last time I had to call the IRS to get an explanation of a statement that came to be in the mail was about 50 minutes. After which I still didn't know what they were telling me.

75 minutes? A week ago I was on the phone with the Missouri Dept. of Revenue trying to get a question about a car title answered for nearly an hour and 15 minute. Luckily I was at work and just had my phone on speaker.

So if it can take 75 minute to get a question like, "If I can't find a title but have a VIN and a bill of sale, what do I do?" can you imagine "I went to the urgent care center to because I was reacting to a bee sting, so why are you billing me for a copay for X-rays?" One of my customers just had this issue with Anthem and St Luke's Hospital Group here in St. Louis. It took him 2 days of phone calls to get it straightened out.

Do you really think that a bunch of federal employees are going to be better? Not likely.

Not likely at all.

Now the above flow chart is probably a little exaggerated, but I don't think by much. You see the program that is being devised is not a replacement for our existing system of private insurance, rather its essentially an additional insurance company. An insurance company funded by you and I and ran by people like that bitch at the Maplewood DMV and those mumble-mouth retards at St. Louis County Collector of Revenue.

All questions of cost and funding aside, do we really want GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES making our health care decisions?

Do we really need to create another federal entity to eat money and shit aggravation and time-wasteage?

Probably not, but what do I know.
