Say you have a disease that your doctor says could be cured if only you could convince your insurance company to cover the medication you need, which they've denied. He gives you some literature which shows overwhelming evidence that he's right about this.
Instead of rushing out the door and calling up your insurance company to start the appeal process, you tell the doctor, "Look buddy...if you think this is such a great idea for me, you spend an hour on the phone each day, and call my congressman until this is resolved. It ain't my job. Later, I gotta go watch my favorite televangelist."
