Because if we put it out there as a single payer from government to the providers, then there has to be some sort of cost control, and we are right back into government regulations.Why don't we give vets vouchers to get health care wherever they want to. Solves all the problems!No, the VA, bucktooth, has not screwed up the VA healthcare system. Millions of vets along with me receive quality health care and have for decades.
The link (if you will read it carefully) blames the admin when it is obviously Congress's duty to fund appropriately ALL of the needs of the VA.
Read it: The VA is forcing sick veterans to travel hundreds to thousands of miles to receive organ transplants that could be conducted within an hour of their homes. Veterans that need live-saving organ transplants can only have the procedures completed at 13 locations across the entire United States. In an effort to save money and reduce costs the VA is forcing veterans to travel extreme distances despite mountains of evidence showing that travel before and after medical procedures can have disastrous effects on a patient’s health. A recent study also revealed that veterans living farther from one of the 13 locations were far less like to be placed on an organ transplant wait list than those living closer to the facilities; meaning a veterans life or death can be determined solely on their home address.
This rag is far, far right and hard conservative, not worth the time to read it. Email Ryan, McConnell, and VA.
The medical care of our vets (including me) is a service far more than a business worried about profit.
