Huang, P. (2021, April 1). How The CDC Is Battling The Pandemic And Working To Regain Public Trust: Shots—Health News: NPR. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/04/01/982761755/inside-the-cdcs-battle-to-defeat-the-virus?utm_campaign=storyshare&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_medium=social

Been making that point about health (especially since, like education, it's a provincial jurisdiction). It's easy to think of perverse incentives if a profit motive dominates education and health. Physicians would want people to remain sick and teachers would prefer it if learners required more assistance.

Hadn't thought enough about the DND part. Sure gives me pause, given the amounts involved. Or the fact that there's a whole lot of profit made in that domain.

So, businesspeople are quick to talk about "cost centres". Some of them realize that those matter a whole lot.
