There's a rude awakening in store for the DOGE bros
Once upon a time, a brash outsider entered the Oval Office with a promise to “drain the swamp.” He brought in a posse of businesspeople, led by a leading industrialist, to work like “tireless bloodhounds” to root out inefficiencies in Washington’s vast bureaucracy.
It was 1982, and President Ronald Reagan’s Grace Commission began its quest to get rid of hundreds of billions of dollars in wasteful spending.
Much like President-elect Donald Trump’s “Department of Government Efficiency,” the advisory board led by entrepreneurs Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, the Grace Commission had no authority to implement changes, only to advise.
And after a couple of years of work, the Grace Commission’s 150-plus members persuaded Congress to enact exactly zero of its recommendations.

$1.3 trillion in 2022 per the internet. With a little arithmetic, using your admin cost %'s, if we were all on a Medicare type plan, that would save $200 BILLION per year. Add insurance industry profit and the cost of providers having to deal with all these parasites, and that figure is much higher. That's a hell of a lot of money we're having to shoulder so Brian Thompson can make $10M+ per year. Well....he use to anyway.
