but then what does winning lucrative benefits for government employees have to do with bias in health care payments?

Not much as far as I can tell. That "money laundering" process can be rather negative, but I don't see too strong of connection to health care bias. Part of the extra benefits can be gold plated health insurance coverage, but even if it is, that wouldn't be bias in treatment, just a more expensive coverage as part of compensation for employment. Maybe greatplains guy has an answer about that part.

to lobby for expanded government rather than for bigger TVs or college educations for their kids,
I guess the assumption is that the government will make the TV's and provide college education? Dear God I hope not, we will get TV's that rarely work, and kids will only get propaganda for an education. Not that we don't already have a lot of propaganda for education thanks to teacher's unions and liberal professor's.
