“There is a lot of stuff we’re doing that doesn’t make any sense,” he said. “We don’t need a Department of Veterans Affairs. Veterans Affairs should be folded in under the Department of Defense.”
Carson said he wants to provide all veterans with health savings accounts to pay for private-sector medical care and reserve defense-run veterans clinics for highly specialized care, like traumatic brain injury treatment and limb replacements.
Just a few hours after the remarks, leaders from the Veterans of Foreign Wars blasted the proposals as harmful to veterans.
“To suggest that disabled veterans could be sent out into the economy with a health savings account card overlooks the fact that civilian health care has waiting lists of their own … and presupposes that civilian doctors have the same skill sets as VA doctors, who see veterans of every age and malady every day,” VFW National Commander John Biedrzyck said in a statement.
Everyone in the GOP states how much they love our veterans. Ben Carson is an example of Republicans who don't.
Because Ben Carson is a surgeon doesn't make him an expert on the VA.You know, I'm retired military, and I receive all my healthcare from the VA. Granted, there WAS a problem with vets being able to receive timely medical care, but that has already been fixed.
Matter of fact, I saw it in action this last physical. I got a reminder from the VA that I needed to stop in for my yearly physical. Well, the only appointment that was available was about 40 days away, so, because I'm in pretty good shape, I didn't mind waiting.
About a week after I'd called and made my appointment, I got a card in the mail that said if I wanted to have my physical within 30 days, I had the right to make an appointment with a local doctor and they would pay for it. But, like I said, I'm still healthy, and because my medical records are already with the VA, I decided that I could wait.
Ben Carson is wrong. The VA is working fairly well right now, and we don't need to privatize and give the vets vouchers. You think the healthcare for vets is bad now? Try putting them on Medicaid vouchers and watch even more die.
Besides...............my healthcare under the VA is ACA compliant. He doesn't need to be screwing with my healthcare.

Your presumption to know more about health care than Dr Ben Carson is laughable.

Actually, in this case I do, because my healthcare comes from the VA, and unlike Ben Carson, I have actually used the system and am fairly satisfied with it.
Like I said, this year when I made my physical appointment, it took 40 days for them to see me. 5 days after I made the appointment, I got a letter in the mail telling me that if I didn't want to wait that long, I could go to a civilian doctor and get it quicker if I wanted, and they would pay.
Yeah................at one time there was a problem with getting appointments, but it seems to have been fixed.
And...............once you're in the system (like after your first physical), it's much quicker to see a doctor.
REPUBLICANS SAY FUCK THE VETERANS!!! Cut, slash and burn is all that matters to these pieces of crap.
Reform the VA yes,,,Abolish it,,,fuck no!
I get sick of this extreme right wing hatred.

I also use the VA and I am also fairly satisfied with it. It is those thousands of vets that are trying to get their first appointment that is the problem as I see it. If you can you tell me that a vet that is not accepted at the VA gets a letter sending him to a civilian Doctor for paid up treatment I may reconsider my opinion, but I doubt that you can do that.

What a pile of hogwash. I guess lying for the VA is a requirement for liberal vets?
Your supposed experience is very, very different from that of thousands of other vets, myself included.
I could fill dozens of pages with horror stories from vets I know personally who have been treated horribly by the VA--from not being able to get an appointment for weeks or even months (and, no, it's not their first appointment), to waiting hours to be seen, to having their paperwork lost, etc., etc.
He is a well respected black man. Not like the liar in office you worship. What has Obama done for our troops? Besides stating they should pay for their own insurance.Carson is a fucking lunatic!
