“...The VA offers precisely what Obamacare offers: not a guarantee of treatment in time of need, but a guarantee of a place in line for treatment at a time of the bureaucracy’s choosing. For some, that time will never come."

Exactly. Replace 'health care' with any other commodity. Let us say a government passed a law that said everyone was entitled to a free Cadillac. So, people would line up for their free Cadillac. Three hundred million people. General Motors would say that they need what? - $45,000 for the car. The government says, no, that's too much, we will only pay you $25,000 per vehicle. GM say, okay, but I hope you aren't in any hurry. We will build your Cadillac when we have some freed up capacity, after we are done producing profitable cars.
