  The Too Obvious Universal Government-sponsored Health Insurance Plan
 
The White House, Congress, Washington think tanks, and lobbyists design overly-complex, impractical plans requiring more bureaucrats who then monitor and confuse themselves while providing little useful service for Americans.
Universal government-sponsored health insurance -- from Clinton's 1992 campaign promise and Hillary's 500 consultant friends' 6-month failed project, to Bush's latest plan -- these schemes stand little chance of improving any average American's life. The Washington time-wasters design plans whose highlights include confused options, complex layers, and intertwined deductibles. These plans are diagramed on multi-colored on charts and look great to Washingtonians. Their charts make for fascinating works of art to show off in meetings and during confused, time-wasting Congressional hearings.
These plans could never function properly in a real-world environment even if Congress did pass them. They would require multifarious layers of bureaucracy and then fail to serve the people in need. As too frequently happens with government plans, they would do little more than pay bureaucrats' salaries.
It appears impossible for Republicans or Democrats to devise a simple health insurance plan. They appear incapable of devising a simple plan that utilizes existing insurance companies' that are already organized to serve all people using reasonable premium rates, deductible levels, and coverage plans. Simple. With more customers, insurance companies could decrease individual rates and quality of medical services improve in the more capitalistic environment.
No universal government-sponsored health insurance plan is likely to be implemented, but the Washingtonians get their salaries and health insurance. No problem... for them.
