  1. A few more Billion dollars will NOT fix the main two issues. 1. Food you wouldn't feed to your dog. Just like a public hospital, as long as the food is 'institutionalized' and mass produced by people unlikely to get a cooks job at your local coffee shop, it is ALWAYS going to be near inedible and unhealthy crap. They serve not much better to our Air Force personnel, since catering was 'outsourced'. 2. The semi-skilled workforce. Even if you pay slightly higher wages, they will struggle to attract the right people. The only people willing to do the bulk of the work are people who can't get a job anywhere else. This is no reflecting on the dedicated professional nurses. I'm taking about the majority being the semi-skilled bottom wipers, the people who have to suffer constant (sometimes racist) abuse from cranky old people who's social skills have significant diminished (not a criticism, just a fact of life). The people you would want to do the job, are not the people that can be attracted to do it. And a few dollars more per week isn't going to change that.
