There's more than one way to skin a cat. Just because the feds hit on the
wrong way doesn't mean they couldn't adopt a workable way that a state has
discovered. Expecting (or as you are doing, promoting) mediocracy out of
government results in mediocre governance. It's *your* government, for and
by you. Hold them to a higher standard.

Not exactly a scapegoat when he's the one in charge and responsible for the
well-being of his subordinates (staff and patients alike in this case).
More like rightly placed blame for not taking care of the problem sooner.
He's not the only one who should loose their job over that.
