From a US perspective: It’s more like more farm subsidies for big farm owning companies. More funding for pet projects that goes into the hands of business owners that own the criminals that have been in power for years.
In the US we could have so much more money as a society if we just had single payer healthcare. It’s our biggest expense from a federal budget perspective and from an individual perspective.
Healthcare here is a 4 trillion dollar industry where almost all the profits go into the hands of a select few who own all the supply companies that suck the profits out of “nonprofit” hospitals, retirement homes and all manner of healthcare related businesses. The whole thing thrives on the opaqueness of it all.
Plus I haven’t even mentioned pharma. The fact that we don’t have collective bargaining agreements for drug prices is fucking insane. The billions earned from 300 million doses of the vaccine and suddenly the prices go from $20 a dose (which was still overpriced by a factor of 10) to $120+ a dose is fucking absurd.
