Obamacare and Bureaucratic Error

Only the beginning
Only just the start
--Chicago

It was inevitable, I suppose, that the botched roll-out of the Obamacare website would grab headlines. Some supporters of the healthcare law probably expected, while others certainly hoped, that the introduction would be 'glitch' free. That it didn't created the perception gap that the media turned into 'news.'

The real surprise, of course, would have been a roll-out that was not botched. The consequences of socialized medicine are as certain as any socialistic program. Costs rise, quality falls, availability (supply) falls.

In socialistic programs, bureaucratic errors are certain, large, and persistent. They dominate the process and restrain standard of living.

The website problems are merely a harbinger of a future burdened by centrally planned bureaucracy if this law is not thrown off.
