Ah yes, if there’s one thing we can say about government services, it’s that they drive costs down 😅

Oh, you mean the agency that ran at a $6.5B dollar deficit in 2023? That postal service?

I have excellent and silly cheap private coverage.

I have the same opinion as I do all government programs. As long as I can opt out, I’m all for it. If someone wants to pay taxes because they believe the government can deliver better than the private market then have at it. Just don’t require me to pay.
