I do not believe their history as a credible provider of medical services is irrelevant. I simply do not take it for granted. I do not assume, as organizational behavior is concerned, that past behavior is the best predictor of current or future behavior. I think it is how incentives are aligned is a better predictor of current or future behavior. There are unlimited numbers of examples that support my view regarding this incentive theory.

I'm not trying to make your position into a joke. You don't need me to make your position a joke. You're trying to use fictional 'what if' scenarios to cast doubt on an organization that hasn't done anything to deserve it.

Perhaps, the government can hire me to do an audit of PP operations. Or, someone who has seen an audit of their operations can share it here - and for the fourth time I repeat - in my gut I do not trust PP. I thought I have been making that clear. And, obviously PP doesn't need my trust and I understand if people here don't care.
But, for those willing to listen, perhaps putting the issue in perspective, even from a conservative point of view, most have no problem with PP that can not be addressed in a positive manner and would support continued funding.

This is fucking nuts.

Dude, read. I said "bureaucratic type person". If you don't think a doctor can be a bureaucratic type person, that is f'ing nuts. But i am going to assume you just misread what was written.
