If “bummercare” will abolish the private system, how will a “robust private system” be around to back up VA care? Just asking.

Also, in my experiences with VA care, I haven’t seen any evidence of the private system support-where is it? Again, just asking. Other than the potential of being “in extremis” and having to visit the local ER while waiting on VA care, I don’t know where it would be; or, maybe you refer to the VA hospital staffs who are generally VA employees or local medical school staff/students.

That’s true, the whole shebang will go down the toilet. But that’s beside the point. “VA right now” isn’t a picture of Obamacare. It’s a picture of what everybody will wish Obamacare was when (if) Obamacare takes over.

This would depend on where the VA center is sited. For some random examples, in Chicago, the VA shares physicians with well regarded Loyola. In Nashville (Tennessee), it’s Vanderbilt. In Lexington (Kentucky) it’s the University of Kentucky hospital.
