He shouldn’t stop at VA; all the states could be privatized...
Let’s encourage the crying speaker to pursue this. Nothing screams big government inefficiency like this VA scandal.
Which is where all economic and enterprising endeavors including healthcare belong: in the free market.
hey crybaby...we need to start with abolishing the whole dang federal govt and get the heck rid of all you useless criminals and restore a true constitutional republic.
The problem we are rapidly running into is that neither Government nor Corporations are competent to run anything ESPECIALLY something that cares for our heroes.
Until we recognize the enemies on all fronts we are in grave danger.
My 85 year old father in law uses the VA as his primary care and was informed two days ago he may now get his cataracts repaired at a private doctor and the VA will cover the procedure.
He needs to start privatizing the American people.
Good idea, but won’t happen. Anytime a politician proposes privatizing any function of government, unions, their Democrat allies and other special interests raise such a stink, the Republicans cower in fear and back off.

Good idea...privatize your retirement too.
Don’t waste a good crisis; spin the table on them...oh, it’s Boehner, the pantywaist, wuss, wimp and two-faced liar coward.
So Vets pay for their own healthcare?
What this would end up being is Obamacare for Veterans, with the feds paying for the insurance. How would that help anyone? It would further entrench Obamacare.
Privatize yourself, bonehead.
Reagan proposed privatizing the VA. Even now, with the disaster exposed, plenty of otherwise sane folks are going to oppose the idea.
If you look at it, I think the only way ‘they’ thought this ‘Health Care’ was going to work was to put as many as possible in the VA system.
Prior Wee Willie Clinton and Hillary Care, VA was for service related ONLY or retirees (as a last resort).
When ‘they’ introduced Hillary Care, the VA opened up for ANY Vet with an Honorable Discharge and started co payments.
When Clinton left office, one of the first acts of Bush was to go back to the ‘old way’ for VA care with the exception that those that had signed up etc were eligible to stay in the system.
With Bush gone, one of the first things BO did was OPEN VA to the Clinton standards, and then they started pushing oBomaScare.
It could not be worse than it is now.
If the Feds gladly embrace “vouchers” (in the form of EBT cards and Food Stamps) to aid the “poor” why don’t they do the same for Veteran’s medical care needs?
