I have no doubt the paper works is difficult to fill out. Look at filing taxes. Government is piss poor at communicating. I started Medicare this year. I am not accustomed to dealing with government, other than taxes. I have a ton of Medicare letters and pamphlets telling me all about parts A, B, C, D and Advantage. I guess I don't do governmentese to well, so I just talked to people already on Medicare.

My point basically is, government sucks at most things it does. I hate the idea of government being involved in health insurance and health care. I also hate the government being involved in welfare and social program. Articles like this one can be correct, but they completely miss the point of the problem. Government should not being doing these things. AT ALL. The problem is not paperwork. Paperwork is just a symptom of government eff'ing up yet another thing it has no business being involved. The problem is the government program exists to begin with.

Yes the paperwork is convoluted and extensive. Now, take a good look at the people who process that for you. It will answer a lot of questions.
