A good read with lessons for social systems anywhere. The post explains how "means-testing" (is someone "worthy" of receiving a social benefit?) funnels taxpayer money designated for social purposes into for-profit companies, sometimes dwarfing spending on the benefit itself. There are many reasons societal services like health care and public transit should be universally free and accessible; this is one of them. https://lpeproject.org/blog/the-means-testing-industrial-complex/
