VA

During the run up to Obamacare some critics mentioned the possible down side to a government run health plan and the answer to their concern was that Medicare and VA are both government run plans and both are doing fine. In recent days problems with the VA have been revealed. What is somewhat disconcerting is that we are now told that people have been aware of these problems since 2005. When some elected official uses the VA to illustrate why any criticism of government health care is not accurate the press should have investigated and they would have quickly discovered that there were serious problems but no such investigation happened. Were they lazy or just so enamored with Obamacare that they didn’t want to make waves?
