> The US government gets $0.16B less that it can control in social spending. But in return, a regulated non-profit institution gets $1.1B more in its budget. There's no reason to think the non-profit accomplishes anything or doesn't accomplish negative things. And there is an opportunity cost to the non-profit getting that money rather than, for example, schools. |

You could say the exact same thing about how the federal government spends its money.
> And there is an opportunity cost to the non-profit getting that money rather than, for example, schools.
There's also an opportunity cost to the government getting that money, rather than, for example, educational non-profits.
Overall, do I think the federal government would do more good with the same amount of money? Probably. But would the federal government do more good with $0.16B, as opposed to the non-profit sector with $1.1B? I highly doubt it.
