Government, in one form or another, now pays for 47% of health care, and when you're spending taxpayer money, you're going to have bureaucracy. Also other insurers follow Medicare rules. None of this is going to go away because Medicare is the Sheriff of the system. <BR/><BR/>My main hopes in writing this satire were: 1) to have fun; 2) to sensitize bureaucrats to the consequences of their "mindless" rules. <BR/><BR/>I welcome other comments.<BR/><BR/>Richard L.
