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.
gollark: That doesn't mean the cost can't/shouldn't be *reduced*.
gollark: Instead of incentivizing people to stay there and driving up the price.
gollark: Yes.
