Politicians don't have tenure and they get paid more. It's also a little different for them, too.

Either way, the bureaucratic system ensures that seniority and preservation of votes/budgets win out over performance. It holds true whether you are talking about the CIA, education, and yes, health care.

> So now you defend the present system?

The problems with the current system, while substantial, would pale in comparison to the problems with universal health care.
