I would much rather the federal government use resources that give vouchers to the vets and do away with the entire VA in general. They treat them like shit anyway. I think that's very American
What am I doing? I haven't personally attacked him once since you censored my last post.
Who decides what insurance the people get? Citizens or government?
money
The folks at the VA deserve better than that sort of comment. I'm guessing you're not a vet though.
Not true. 82% of vets are satisfied with the VA. My father-in-law loves his care. He was never injured and never served in a war but he has healthcare at a government hospital by government doctors. Single payer has no bearing on who you go to for care. You can go to any doctor you want and you don't have to wait for a cartel to pay for it for you. YOU are paying for it.
The VA does the best it can with what very little it is given. Does anyone remember when GW Bush (and the GOP) was gutting VA funding in 2002/2003 even as he was beating the drums for war? His actions created a much bigger caseload who are now fighting over a reduction in services. I definitely agree that veterans get treated like shit in general, especially those who did the actual fighting.
Wrong... The money is the root of evil, but either the individuals or government will decide. There are only 2 choices.
Wrong! The VA deserves to be able to go to any hospital they choose, instead of shit holes that don't take care of them. Giving them vouchers (As good as money) to be seen by "top notch" hospitals and caregivers is extremely patriotic. I've seen how they treated my dad
This is like saying "There ain't poor people because I live in an area that doesn't have poor people". Or "There isn't racism because I haven't been exposed to it locally"Not true. 82% of vets are satisfied with the VA. My father-in-law loves his care. He was never injured and never served in a war but he has healthcare at a government hospital by government doctors. Single payer has no bearing on who you go to for care. You can go to any doctor you want and you don't have to wait for a cartel to pay for it for you. YOU are paying for it.
Sorry for the repost. But I wanted Mags to get the alert.
no mags.if you have enough expendable income you can purchase the best healthcare on the planet..money makes the difference. Implants for bad teeth or partial plates...heart transplant or death..money affects those choices..always has
So we allow the government dictate our healthcare... Logical
dumbest post in a long time
So you are in support of being taxed 2.2 trillion extra dollars per year, allowing the government to decide which hospital, medication and treatment?
I'm sorry if someone saying something is okay because their dad was treated okay. My dad wasn't treated okay at the VA hospitals to a point that he had to pay out of his own pocket to be treated fairly
All you've done is try and sell its okay to be taxed because we don't know how to spend our money right, so the government can spend it for us. The same government that has put us 18.5 trillion in debt. LOGIC
I'm in favor of healthcare coverage by sales tax...you buy a lot of shit, you pay more towards healthcare. I'm also aware that affordable care will not be everywhere until there is tort reform and doctors are not sued to stitch you up...health clinics should be provided in every community just like public schools..you want specialty care, pay extra for your plastic surgery
THIS!!!! The Republicans and Democrats in DC have destroyed America.
