"Where did that come from?"

While many government bureaucrats attempt to do their job as well as they can, other use their positions to advance their own agendas. In businesses bad eggs are summarily dismissed while in government they become entrenched.

Most of us can envision some entrenched government employees using their power of life and death to punish people against whom they harbor resentment. Medicare has a history of cutting reimbursements and not providing coverage for treatments; once socialized medicine threatens to bankrupt the nation expensive treatments will be excluded. Once government medical care is the only game in town, either can be a death sentence.
