gollark: Yeeees, American healthcare does seem to be uniquely bizarre and wasteful. There are a bunch of theories about this.
gollark: (there are probably, at most, something like a thousand offices getting that)
gollark: This furniture budget thing probably doesn't add up to a significant amount of the total spend, so it's a bad comparison.
gollark: Apparently American healthcare spending is something like 17% of GDP for some insane reason. So it would be a big fraction of the government budget, if they ran it as efficiently as it currently operated.
gollark: Possibly. Paying people if they want to move out seems more reasonable than doing stupid things to local property markets, or whatever, or adjusting taxes so those already there can afford it.
