Admin growth has far exceeded physician growth.

Same as has happened in our schools. Administrators, administrators, administrators. Eating up more and more money. All because the Feds got involved.

That's something that we tried to address in the Clinton and the Obama administration but you RWNJs weren't having it.

Well...DUH!!!
Hence the reason for the ACA...
And has someone has already pointed out, this was tried to be addressed...but you just and righteous patriots wouldn't hear of it.

The Fed...had nothing to do with it.

Uhm yeah, the Feds (I did NOT say 'Fed') are all over this (the chart in the OP explains it). Bye.

Way too many GS-13s and up in the federal .gov too.

The original ACA consisted of roughly 1,200,000+ words. To put that in perspective, the standard Old and New Testaments combined contain roughly 783,000+ words, give or take some depending on what translation is used. Now add the 11,000 pages of rules and regulations--that would be a stack more than three feet high--that have been written to govern the ACA since it passed and more regulations are written pretty much every week that passes.

When Medicare first went into effect, most hospitals assigned at most one or two employees to administer it. Now a hospital needs a roomful of people just to do the paper work required by the ACA and I dare say no company, no hospital, nobody in the world has a legal team large enough to keep up with the every changing rules and regulations meaning anybody could be in violation at any time.

But then our massive government keeps churning out all manner of rules and regulations about hundreds of things which again nobody's legal department is sufficient to keep up with everything. Which according to some is one way those in government extort contributions from big business by offering to sort of look the other way.

So the cost of doing business goes up and that gets passed on to we consumers. Because almost as much time and energy is necessary to complete government paperwork in education as is spent on teaching students, the cost of education has escalated hugely while the quality of education continues to decline. And healthcare is massively more expensive for everybody because of government requirements without any increase in the quality of that healthcare and more commonly a decline in quality of healthcare.

We can do better and have elected a President who is putting together a team who will very much be looking for ways to get unnecessary government off the backs of the people. That could be a very good thing.

Doc7505, an unusually sloppy writer, has a point this time. Whether he will support it with evidence remains to be seen. I wish Foxfyre would document as well as pontificate.
