I'm just wondering if it's dawning on liberals that the growing VA medical care scandal strongly suggests that government-run medical care is not the best option.
And they certainly can't say that the awful care is due to a lack of funds. The VA's budget has risen by some 50% over the last 10 years, while its patient load has only gone up buy about a third. So no one can say the VA's atrocious care is the result of a lack of adequate funding.
Why do VA hospitals treat conditions that could be treated at regular hospitals? Why don't VA hospitals specialize in service-related conditions? Why doesn't the VA give more vets vouchers for private medical care? (The VA does provide vouchers, but they are very hard to get.)
