That is actually not a completely bad idea. For what the VA wastes on services, you could likely load those cards with $30K+ and still save the country money. Then VETS could buy their own insurance and still have money to cover deductible maxouts.
Almost without exception government f**** up every single thing it touches. Veteran care is no exception.
Let the private sector handle it. At least most folks in the general public respect and honor our vets, unlike most of the VA.
