I don't think Medicare reinbursement is fundamentally different than reinbursement by private health insurance. Any organsiation that pays has it's burocracy. Simply relaxing the rules would mean more fraud and ineffective procedures.
It's also not like the privately payed homeopathy treatement is somehow less bullshit because it's not payed for by Medicare.
The Joint Strike Fighter is a different problem. It's created by Lockheed Martin which is likely payed cost-plus. |
