Reagan proposed privatizing the VA. Even now, with the disaster exposed, plenty of otherwise sane folks are going to oppose the idea.

I think one proposal of Reagan was to open VA Hospitals in rural areas to ALL on space available basis.
I don’t think ‘he’ really explained what he was trying to do or maybe ‘we’ just thought he was another pol trying to ‘take something away from the Vet’.
Believe his goal was that if the VA Hospitals were being used they could remain open and it would also allow Vets to use Private Hospitals if a VA facility wasn’t handy.
