You’re a very sweet person. I can tell that. I said that I am fully aware of the medical bureaucracy in a doctor’s office. It will get bigger. That’s not a tragedy.

Sorry if I misunderstood.

Having a more uniform set of rules as to what must be covered and when should actually reduce the bureaucracy now faced by doctors. Instead of dealing with 1,500 insurance companies each with 15 policies, there would be streamlining. Instead of tricksy fine print in the policies designed to deny care for flimsy made-up reasons, there will be national standards.

Win-win.
