‘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.”
PFFFTTTTTT nonsense, if its service related then the VA can care for it or provide you a voucher to see a specialist. If its not service related then you or I can pay for it ourselves.
Why should the govt pay for my non-connected medical care?
“Why should the govt pay for my non-connected medical care?”
So, what you’re proposing is a VA system that provides no care but care for service connected problems? If a vet with service connected problems develops, years after active service, health problems with no connection to service, that would not be covered?
Good luck finding any who agree with your ideas.
