Your future under government run healthcare......

Using the post office as the US model of government efficiency, one must wonder what decline in service or efficiency will be experienced under a government run healthcare system. One should wonder, since people do have other options these days to postal services, such as email or FedEx, what will happen when what health service that you need done just isn't convenient for the worker that is entrusted with dispatching that good or service....

So let's recap here: there are no stamps. At the post office. And they will not run the invitations through the machine, either.

Now, I have no idea whether this is regulation run amok, combined with Soviet-level distributional inefficiency; or whether she simply didn't feel like dealing with my wedding invitations, and started making up rules to force me to take my damn business elsewhere.

This a a whole new level of complexity to Ronald Reagan's famous quip, 'The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help.' because the problem is that government will not help at all but become an obstacle to getting what people want and need.
