Congress loves to dole out money because the right supports the notion that money is free speech and public financing of officials is a terrible idea. The right has normalized the idea that corruption is speech and now you wonder why everything the government touches is toxic. Governments are not inherently bureaucratic, they are not inherently inefficient, they are what we make them to be with our policies and political structure.
Again, don't tell me that the current situation could be worse with government. Without government, people would be literally left to die by private companies who think Crohn's disease or a heart defect is too costly to take care off. Damn the humanity of it all, we need to look at the bottom line. After all, the right has cemented in our legal system that the bottom line is our only moral and legal responsibility as a company.
**** the free market of healthcare. It's anything but. (cue the tired argument that it would be a good little market if only that pesky government had not stepped in)
