But should it ever have been created in the first place? What if there were a proposal to expand the VA to cover not just current and former members of the military but current and former employees of the federal government (it would, after all just be part of an agreement made between those who serve the government.
If government run healthcare is odious would it not be far better to just put those veterans on private insurance and private provision?

I beleive the problems evident with medicare are a small foreshadowing of what would happen should a government option become available.

As a fellow conservative how does it make you feel to watch the contortions necessary for many opposing the current bill to simultaneously stand as staunch defenders of Medicare from the ravaging visigoths of national healthcare while also considering Medicare doomed to failure and a well established incremental step towards socialism?
