Book excerpt: "The painful truth is here! “Washington’s BARRC Is Its Bite” proves that so-called public servants in D.C. are indeed serving us: we are their dinner and dessert! Politicians create BARRC—bureaucracy, administration, rules, regulations, and compliance—and their BARRC consumes the resources that people desperately need. Washington says: We are simply doing what must be done in your best interests. “Washington’s BARRC Is Its Bite” describes how previous government solutions to U.S. healthcare problems have made our system sicker not better; how “free” BARRC is incredibly expensive (a bill that we all must pay); and how BARRC in healthcare hurts the very people it claims to protect. “Washington’s BARRC Is Its Bite” concludes on a positive note. It proves that better and cheaper are possible in healthcare—simply cut the BARRC."
