You want to cut medical corruption and financial bloat?
Drag the insurance companies out into the public square and gut them. All of them. They serve no function other than to insert themselves between you and hospitals and demand money from both.
Wait a few more months and the bird flu pandemic will decide without the shadow of a doubt whether Trump gutted medical research or cleaned up a corrupt system...
Best place to waste a ton of money without ever being checked is healthcare. Everybody thinks nothing else is more important and even the notion of cutting expenses will infuriate folks.
I have a friend complaining about some of the cuts. I asked her, how do we know they were doing productive work or work at all?
I don’t like how disorganized the cuts appear to be but just because we have x number of people doesn’t mean we need x number of people.
They only have two years - I think it cannot be done orderly. Company I worked for had a reorganization, a lot of people were fired. The organization will have to fix itself, but it is definitely going to hurt.
They will have to combine this with deregulation though.
I do think what Milei does in Argentina is a more thought out plan, but maybe DOGE is similar and we don't know all details.
