It's stupid since in this country we have wait times as well, espeically for the poor or anyone who's insurance requires an approval process. I think the problem is trying to figure out the best way to "Do no harm" in creating health care policy. And the government likes the hacks and patches! It's so much easier than dealing with the roots of problems and as an engineer you are an expert in your field. Most Members of Congress are not experts in anything but their staffers might be and the lobbyists most certainly are, and their motivations may not always be pure.
