A comment on CDC declined to test new coronavirus patient for days, California hospital says. Parent comment
Poor public administration makes people lose trust in government, which contributes to political debate.
This is a vicious cycle.
As applied to healthcare, many Americans, including leftists, simply aren’t confident the government can achieve major public programs.
Obamacare is a good example: it has been slowly gutted. How? By litigating it again and again at different levels and forums of government.
After congress passed the law, states had to agree to go along, courts federal courts had to sign off, stage courts had to sign off, etc.
There’s no way to enact major changes in American society anymore.
So most Americans, very logically and rationally, favor small incremental changes over big programs.
