<<<Medicare is fine paying for them and they do better at the inspections because that's what they concentrate on>>> I think, there is a fairly widespread notion, that is probably encouraged by various interest groups, that Medicare represents big government and that government by definition can't do anything right. I can understand people's frustrations dealing with an unresponsive bureacracy. I have had far more experiences with bureacracy than I would like, but SS and Medicare, imo has been nothing but remarkable. This doesn't mean they don't screw up occassionally but my sense is they do a great job overall.
