In a speech obama explained what the problem with our insurance is... crushing corporate bureaucracy. I actually agree with this statement. Although most of that bureaucracy is there to deal with bad regulations and laws, and there are non bureaucracy related laws that also hurt.

I am amazed however, that he actually suggests that switching from corporate bureaucracy to government bureaucracy would be an improvement. I have yet to ever see a case where government bureaucracy was better than corporate one.

Wouldn't reducing the bureaucracy be a better alternative instead?

This is similar to when joe biden said in a speech that we need to borrow and spend our way out of debt.
