and much of yesterday trying to get my brain around a horribly complicated, inartfully drafted, confusing federal Medicare/Medicaid statute that frankly, an above-average seventh grader could have done a better job writing.
In fact, the subject statute, about forty pages in length, is so jacked-up there are literally scores of boutique law firms around the Fruited Plain that make a fine living just interpreting it and advocating on behalf of clients (docs, patients, insurance companies) who must navigate its nooks, crannies, swamps, traps and dead-ends to avoid fines, or worse.
Now, I know I've made my position clear on Obama-care, and some of you may perceive this post as more anti-Obama stuff. But here's the thing. This statute was last amended on W's watch, and came out of 'Pub Congress.
The fact is, when gubmint commences to farkle with your health care and making rules regarding same, that is a recipe for disaster in terms of ordinary folks' ability to understand to what they're entitled and more importantly, how to stay out of the hoosegow for doing something wrong they honestly didn't understand was wrong when they did it.
Thanks for listening. I feel better. Sort of.
