The Eggplant* that I’m worried about is not the one that ate Chicago, but rather the one that is eating its way through our federal legislative systems and digesting what is left of the Constitution of the United States.<br /><br />Governmental oversight, through promulgated laws, legislation, and mandates, has generally produced increasingly more complex requirements with which businesses must comply---and compliance is never cost-free, let alone cost-effective. Add to that man’s seeming fascination with figuring out how to “beat the system” and you have the primordial soup out of which the likes of Enron and WorldCom crawled. The health care system (its businesses and the people who run them) will fare no better, and neither will the people whom they serve.<br /><br /><br />* I’m likely to be the only person following this blog who not only knows the group that pressed the ditty (Dr. West’s Medicine Show & Junk Band), but also knows the lyrics (“You’d better watch out for the eggplant that ate Chicago, or he may eat your city soon…”).Jan K., The Prooferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03590805123567075473noreply@blogger.com
