While the medical requirement may be restrictive for many, it absolutely provides a safety net for GA.
The existing third class has prevented at least one want-to-be-commercial-airline-pilot friend of mine from beginning flight training. Frankly, in this particular case I believe it was the best possible thing that could have happened. He is medically capable of holding a driver's license but not of flying an aircraft.
That being said, ALPA probably should have checked with the membership on this one....

However, FYI, one definition of bureaucracy:
"Any organization in which action is obstructed by insistance on unecessary procedures and red tape."
Given the context of YOUR post, you could have been referring to the government, but it was more likely that you were referring to ALPA's involvement in the issue at hand.
So, apparently, "bureaucracy" is too layered and complex a word for YOU to be using.

You assume motive of others when attacking their posts. You should strive to be civil and not do that. While you have your dictionary open look up moron. You will find that its traditional definition fits you exactly and is not an insult, rather it is a description.

I am however pleased that you recognize ALPA for what it usually is:
