It's not overblown. Why isn't “DOGE” dealing with the elephant in the room? https://www.usaspending.gov/explorer https://www.usaspending.gov/explorer stopped working, but I did comment on some of the costs here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42562822 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42562822 Medicare and Medicaid is the single biggest cost--it's quite large in fact--but paying for the actual services (private services) is where the bulk of the costs comes from. The actual fat is private industry over-charging and over-billing Medicare and Medicaid, but this is the same parasitic problem that we see in private health care in the US. Why? Because of regulatory capture and lobbying by the health lobby; the same lobbyists who also double-dip by having both employers pay for the plans as well as having the insured pay out of pocket through "high deductibles". This is the "fat" that MAGA politicians refuse to touch, because they're just as corrupt as every other politician in the so called swamp. PS I doubt you'll see this, but I've been meaning to respond for some time now.
