I didn’t see the interview, but the military is already responsible for the military hospitals all over the world. This could get rid of all the useless administrative expense in the VA and combine the medical care for the active and non-active military personnel under one umbrella. It is definitely something that could be considered. I would love to see the bloated VA administrators removed and have much better care for our veterans. The VA hospitals are disgraceful all over this country. For those Veterans that don’t have a nearby military clinic or hospital, they can get care in the civilian hospitals.
Military hospitals are established around the need to care for still-active troops. That’s a different issue from VA.
I’d think it a better move if there was a sincere attempt to have the VA be run by veterans as much as possible.
