Private medical puts it in the hands of doctors !? Lol! Private industry cares about profits, not lives .

...and government bureaucrats don't care about jackshit. That is why we had veterans die waiting for health care and then the bureaucrats destroyed the records to cover it up.

The government is not our friend and we sure as hell don't want to put something as important as the health care of of veterans in the hands of stupid incompetent government workers.

LOL! That is a funny thing for a Moon Bat to say because Obamacare is all about giving the filthy ass welfare queens private healthcare like the paying customers instead of having them go to government clinics.

 

[ThoughtCrimes]

Lol! Who got us into afghan and Iraq ?

CLINTON....anything else?

Well, yes! You are in error!

The Afghanistan Authorization to Use Military Force (AUMF) was passed by Congress Sept 14, 2001 and signed by Bush on Sept 18, 2001, enacting Public Law 107-40. The Iraq AUMF was passed by Congress Oct 11, 2002 and signed by Bush Oct 16, 2002, enacting Public Law 107-243.

Clinton had nothing at all to do with either of those two AUMF's...Clinton wasn't even in office at the time.

Those stupid incompetent workers are vets themselves. Why do you hate our troops??

[LogikAndReazon]

The VA just needs more tax dollars and civil servants to administer it !!!!

 

[rdean]

More like dumping a customer who gets too pricey to insure or run out of cash to pay .

That's what insurance companies do .

You just changed the subject from doctors/hospitals to insurance companies, Timmy. That's why we need insurance companies to COMPETE instead of having monopolies in the areas they operate. And again, private enterprise strives to keep customers happy, not throw them out on the street. The indigent have county clinics and hospitals for care....nobody is turned away from an ER.

Doctors can also be admin. Look around , they all join these big health groups . But I do trust them more than admin.

But u can't beleive that's its a good idea to hand them a blank check .

Relying on ER to treat non covered is inefficient and bad public policy .

But u can't beleive that's its a good idea to hand them a blank check .

Who said we should do that? That's why it's called "administration".

Private healthcare has to pay investors, administrators and GOP politicians. That money is skimmed off policies. How many policies does it take to pay for a private jet? Anyone?

This is why Democrats want single payer. It puts medicine back in hands of doctors and takes it out of the hands of administrators. Think of the amount of money it takes to pay for a private jet, a boardroom and dividends.

I'm willing to listen but after what we heard happening at the VA it'll be a hard sell to convince many of us that these costs associated with private healthcare which are held down by market forces are more inefficient than an uncontrolled bloated bureaucracy.

"It puts medicine back in hands of doctors and takes it out of the hands of administrators," to me sounds like a hallow sales pitch.

I was responding to the idea of giving them a card and letting the vets go to whoever health care giver .

But hey , you come here bitching about the va . I actually offer alternative ideas and you bust all over me . Not very nice .

No, but Willy Jeff surely was responsible for the situation Bush inherited. He had a chance to take bin-Laden from Sudan and declined. He had a chance to rid Iraq of Saddam but instead let him rearm himself with the phony "oil for food" program. Once again the left can't see these events as anything but what they're told to see. So no, I'm not in error, fool...you are.

Does the VA still have a priority system to handle veterans; service incurred, swift admittance down to just a veteran and as care is available?

 

[NYcarbineer]

Is that supposed to mean something?

It means they're a government bureaucracy not an advocate for Vets, dumbass.

The for-profit insurance industry is not an advocate for vets, is what you meant to say.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Okay, let's say we give every veteran a fully funded option to purchase an insurance policy on the Obamacare exchanges,

do you 'privatizers' like that idea better? I'm not endorsing that idea, I'm just asking.

 

[Two Thumbs]

The VA has waiting lists so long that Vets die from lack of care and some kill themselves from the pain they are in.


If you had the slightest bit of humanity in you, you'd think about that before you started vile ops like this.

You don't have to privatize it to make the VA larger and more able to handle the caseloads.

The government fails and when the government fails it doesn't give a fuck b/c it's the government.

you sue the government for fucking you, you get tax money, should they let you win.

Since a private company doesn't want to get sued, especially for fucking over Vets......




why am I explaining? you're a leftist and can't think for yourself

The VA is far from perfect, but it is also far from as bad as it was in the late Viet Nam War era too.

And?

Are you aware that a Vet set himself on fire outside of one b/c he couldn't get help?

 

[Wilbur Right]

No, but Willy Jeff surely was responsible for the situation Bush inherited.

Not only that but Clinton made Bush invade Iraq.

True story if you are a fool like Tom horn. Right Tom? It was all Clinton's fault.

And the economic collapse was Obama's fault.

Hell.Bush wasn't even president at all. Right Tom?

You're not explaining. You're jabbering like a monkey.
