Discussion»Statements»Rosie's Corner» Are ya PRO or CON privatizing the VA? Scuttlebutt is that's why Shulkin was booted. He fought it. Doofylucy wants it. What say YOU? Why?
I say let the veterans choose. Give them an insurance card and let them go to the VA or go to a civilian hospital/doctor. I have heard many a horror story from veterans who used the VA and some good stories as well.
Didn't we talk about Medicare and Medicare Advantage a while back? I think you said you prefer standard Medicare because of the freedom to choose your Dr without having to worry about if they were in the Advantages HMO or not. Well I look at the VA as a huge HMO ran by the government.....who would want forced to be part of that? If they do then great but give them an option if they want it. People were dying waiting for the appointment date to come.
