the absurdly high quality of Geico commercials

Part of the problem is the absurdly high quality of Geico commercials in general. In a dysfunctional nation that cannot provide health care for its citizens, not to mention a million other serious problems, we get these edgy, humorous, well-crafted advertisements for insurance? I once called Geico on the strength of their ads and their claim that I would save money... Sadly their auto insurance quote didn't come close to what I was paying at the time. Still, I love the ads and hope some of that creativity spills over into other areas of government.
