British ObamaCare update: Jobless bureaucrats still getting paid

Government and medicine don't mix. As for why, I once again point to Great Britain and its National Health Service.

From WalesOnline:

More than 50 top NHS executives in Wales whose jobs disappeared in October are still being employed at an annual cost of millions of pounds, we can reveal today.

The situation was described last night as "scandalous."

Earlier this month, we reported how not a single administrator's job was lost when the NHS in Wales was reorganised in October.

Although the number of local health boards shrank from 22 to seven and dozens of highly-paid top management posts disappeared, no-one was invited to apply for voluntary redundancy or otherwise forced to take it.
