Democrats' health-care plan: an organizational chart

NewMajority:

Today, the Senate’s Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee approved, on party lines, a healthcare reform bill. The bill includes a provision to create a government run health insurance plan which will compete with private insurers. The plan is expected to cost $1 trillion dollars over 10 years.

I examined the plan and released a detailed flow chart highlighting the 31 (at current count) departments, agencies, and programs that will administer the proposed Democratic government-run healthcare bureaucracy.

Cafe Hayek adds:

It's pretty horrific. Of course neither party wants you to see what the current system looks like. Also horrific. I do think the proposed reform is worse. But let's not pretend that the current system isn't a Kafka-esque bureacracy akin to the picture.
