It's working as intended.

There's a lot of money to be made in making sure the US Govt isn't paying minimum dollar for goods and services, be it healthcare or military spending.

It’s about stealing everything they can between those that need and those that provide.

Insurance companies. Middle management. It’s everywhere. Needless spending that’s made up to create “industry”.

This industry should never have existed in the first place. It’s akin to fire departments standing in front of a burning home until the owner pays up, and if they don’t they get robbed while the place burns.

That was determined by the public to be greed driven, robbery and also fucking illegal.

But the insurance industry does it daily for generations, constantly creating scenarios where people die or become destitute and yet it’s legal?

Somebody explain.
