That's why I don't take your comments on politics seriously -- you
start with an extreme bias on some things like that.

Thinking that government run programs are in general wastefull and
less efficient that private enterprise is not an extreme bias!

Private insurance companies and medical clinics have incentives to
streamline their bureaucracies yet the bureaucracy and overhead is
still huge. Why would you think a government program that lacked these
incentives would be any better?

Someday I'll visit NY and we can go take a long ride to Montauk (no
hills please) and we can argue about this for hours!
