Johnny lost his leg...... we could get him a replacement, a blood transfusion, antibiotics, pain killers, and physical therapy, but he'll just be a useless eater unable to contribute to the "greater good."
But soldiers *have* gov’t run healthcare, and that *isn’t* the case. They’ve had that for an incredibly long time, and they get substantially better care than privately-insured people. Subsidies for prosthetics and things are significantly better for military people with VA care than most people with private insurance.
