Misses the point. "Bureaucrat" in this context means government bureaucrat, not a functionary in a private firm. I realize that everyone doesn't parse language all that carefully but the issue is government vs private. Red tape is red tape and paper pushers are paper pushers, but neither matters as much when you're dealing with a private provider because then you have a contract and the option to take your business elsewhere.
