Quit dumping all your crazy governors on us!!!! Although I can’t say I blame them.

The problem with this notion, as it is with all socialism, lies in a concept called The Tragedy of the Commons

When everyone owns everything, no one has a vested interest in using it properly and effectively, just in getting the most use out of it compared to their peers.

Of course. Do as I say, not as I do. Any surprise here? Not to me.

Occam’s observation about unintended consequences could be taken to apply to Congress generally, and not only the liberal wing. Although libs are the most likely to try to solve problems through legislation, they’re not alone. Unfortunately, the complex problems of modern society may not be amenable to solution through legislation that is simplistic, poorly crafted or worded, inappropriate to the problem, or tries to do too much, or, in the case of ObamaCare, most of the above (maybe not simplistic). Cries of “there oughta be a law!” don’t always merit a legislative response, and sometimes the best course of action for Congress is to do nothing. But that can be a tough sell.

Now that Obama has ADDED additional complexity it is impossible for private industry to trim their overhead to just 20% of the revenue stream.

Similar folly occurs WRT trimming the doctors paychecks.

Obamacare simply INSISTS that the free market requote to make the politicians happy.

Like a Blue Light Special, the medical/insurance sector is expected to simply roll back prices out to suit a Centrally Planning Congress/Executive.

To give you an idea as to how far away 20% is… most insurance burns 33% of premiums with servicing overhead — and normal claims paperwork is not chocked with Federal complications.

Obamacare demands of private industry performance ratios that the Federal Government never meets, itself.

Happy New Year!

Yet no matter how many times that law raps them across the knuckles, they seem never to learn, and exercise prudence. Remarkable, really.
