The same bureaucratic group-think responsible for the long term suspensions of children playing with toy guns on private property, chewing pop-tarts, pointing pencils, playing make-believe (see list after the jump), is the same buraucratic mind-set that will be “manageing” your health care–and by extension your quality of life, your aging parents and grandparents lives, childrens lives, everyone.
Why you would let these people manage more than absolutely necessary is beyond me; why you would let them run your health care, and by extension your quality of life, is just insane.
