The only people who want government health care are those who have never had to have it. There are nice people in the VA system, but the VA itself is screwed up. Take a look at how fast they’re processing claims. My Dad was a Korean War Veteran. He had a blood test done by the VA. He kept asking for the results. He called them for months. He died waiting for his results. Right there in Montana.

“”The only people who want government health care are those who have never had to have it.””

Sorry, the English people will never give up their dreadful government-run system. They know it’s bad, they complain about it all the time. But they fight vociferously any effort to streamline or cut the budget of the National Health Service.

The English people will never give up socialized medicine they are terrified of being self-reliant and having to find their own doctors and insurance companies.

Medicine is the last great prize for socialists. Once you give up control of your health care — the most intimate, private part of your life — you have nothing left. Nothing.

You are now the property of the U.S. government.

Sorry to hear about your dad. I've been happy with the care I get at Fort Harrison but most of what I have gotten has been out of Salt Lake and Denver. I have noticed in the past few years that more and more of the younger guys coming out of Iraq and Afghanistan are in the system. I have been using the VA less for procedures I can just pay for, as I figure the younger guys need the care more than me. I certainly never found insurance based systems were any better than the VA if you had a serious illness or accident. Frankly, the best care I have ever received is in hospitals in SE Asia at about 1/20th of the cost in the United States.
