“So, you’re fine with abandoning the promise made to service members for at least 50 years, that VA health care would be available to them after active service?”
yes aside from service connected injuries. Government run health care does not work. Save the resources for those coming off active duty and who really need the care.
“More likely, if any money was saved, it’d go to more welfare type programs.”
Thats where Obama plans to spend it. He’ll give it to druggies and leave vets outside in the rain.
“yes aside from service connected injuries. Government run health care does not work. Save the resources for those coming off active duty and who really need the care.”
When we cut through all the rhetoric, what you’re proposing would not free up any doctors to provide more care to those with service related injuries. Those injuries require very specialized treatment that require very specialized doctors.
I’ve been eligible for VA care for a few decades, but have used it only for about three years of that time. I went to GPs (primary care physicians) and gastro specialists. That care is not taking any physician time away from service related injuries because they are not trained to treat such injuries.
All you’re proposing is getting rid of much general care for veterans, with no assurance that the highly specialized care needed by those with service connected problems would have their needs met.
