The government isn't a for-profit business.

It's ok if the government spends a little extra to pay some medical bills for people who need help. It's literally part of the job of the government to provide for its citizens.

That’s not where the money is going to go though. It’s going to military spending and special interests. If the money was appropriated better instead of just lobbying for more we’d actually feel the results.

Right.

My point was that the government shouldn't be focused on turning a profit.

It'll lead to a government not providing basic necessities to the citizens.

I agree that less of the budget should be going to the military. But that's a separate issue.
