DOGE is great — if you don’t plan to be around to reap the savings

Regarding Sen. Joni Ernst comments about we are all going to die — we should possibly look at it through the eyes of DOGE. If you run a profit and loss or a risk reward payback it would make sense. No more health care system to deal with preexisting conditions, PBM’s, doctor-hospital shortages, etc. just think of the possible total savings. A possible issue would be none of your loved ones would be around to enjoy the savings, darn sentimental feelings.
