  “We guard against the pressures that exist for unsafe care or for unnecessary care to be delivered in a way which makes the whole system too complex and ultimately unsustainable,” Witty said.

  Frankly it’s a miracle that so many countries around the world have functioning healthcare systems at all without these bastions of safety at the helm.

    Well, the laws create the conditions. In Europe health care tends to be strictly regulated, so you don’t get these wolves in health care. It’s actually considered quite a dull career that pays decently but nothing out of the ordinary, even for the higher ups.

  These people have learned absolutely nothing from any of this. Don’t expect any change from them short of government intervention.

    Government intervention outside of use of the military will not be forthcoming.
