...The situation (click here) brings up a bigger question of what should follow. House Republicans are pushing to privatize veterans coverage with vouchers, saying it would be the quickest way to improve coverage. Senate Democrats want to pour more money into the system to improve service and fill job vacancies said to be a source of the delays. The two approaches have all the makings of a familiar standoff over government limits and responsibilities....
He needs to stay exactly where he is.
The Republicans always want to punt to the private insurance industry with corruptly underfunded health care in the way of vouchers. Vouchers are suppose to work for Medicare and now they are the 'pill for the common cold' of VA health benefits.
It would be interesting to find the implosion of our health care system when every VA facility shut down.
So, let me get this right. There are POTENTIALLY 6.5 million former service members ELIGIBLE for care through the VA system. There aren't 6.5 million patients in the VA system. Many veterans have private insurance.
But, let's say there are 6.5 million in the VA system. Where do they go? When the Republicans shut down the VA medical system, where do they go with their vouchers? Because if the monies from the VA system is cut to simply provide $7000 per veteran for private insurance carriers, where do they go for care? The VA system will be defunded and all those facilities won't be available.
The Republicans are idiots. They have no clue what to do and the fact of the matter is Secretary Shinseki has provided incredible guidance to improve the VA system. The Republicans have no clue so, "light bulb goes on," let's provide vouchers.
Idiots and the Dems going on with this level of immorality, "Selling our Vet to Wall Street," are just as stupid. Congratulations, the Dems are actually demoralized enough to go along to get along. Amazing. Tell me, are the Dems now receiving Koch money, too? I mean the positions are identical to the Republicans, did that change the funding?
I don't think so.
