Here’s real proof illustrating how and why the new health care tax will fail miserably in time. Because, simply stated, the government simply doesn’t have anywhere near the expertise, talent, knowledge, ability, nor certainly the skilled personnel required to manage the tax competently. They've had three years to develop the program and can’t even get the administrative introduction right, so just imagine what will happen when people actually need medical care, help, support or advice. 

 

According to FoxNews.com, “Robert Gibbs, who served as White House Press Secretary from 2009-2011, said in an interview with MSNBC Monday the first two weeks of open enrollment for the president’s health care overhaul were “bungled badly” and called it “excruciatingly embarrassing for the White House and for the Department of Health and Human Services.”

 

He went on to say “he hopes some of those in charge of setting up the law’s website will be fired.”

 

Now, that’s a typical bureaucrat’s perspective, which hasn’t a shred of connection to the real world. Because, firing incompetent's accomplishes nothing toward the program’s effectiveness, it only creates job opportunities for equally inept replacements.

 

The real fault lies in the government’s misguided assumption that it has, or can obtain, personnel with the required skills, talents and capabilities to properly establish and manage a process that demands constantly changing state-of-the-art capabilities, coupled with in-depth hands-on industry knowledge and experience. 

 

And those kind of folks don’t work for bureaucracies, they build profit-making organizations themselves or work within them. An endeavor like this needs Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, not empty suits like Nancy Pelosi or Anthony Weiner.  

 

I know that if I got ill and needed medical help, I’d much prefer calling a doctor’s office or practice instead of some government clerk.

 

So, when all the smoke clears and the ashes of the heath care tax are eventually sifted through, the reason for its demise will be vividly apparent. The misguided colossal waste of effort and time will have failed primarily because the task itself is countless miles over the heads of those trying to implement it. And that’s something for which there’s simply no fix, nor will there ever be.

 

That's it for today folks.
