[QUOTE="inactive, post: 3116203, member: 7488"] In a qualified way, I will say that I'm not sure why veterans are special either in regards to health care. Meaning... and maybe I'm being dense on the issue as I'm out of my insurance league talking health care, but why do we have to provide (or maybe even compel) veterans health [I]care [/I]at all? Meaning, the government as [I]the [/I]care [I]provider[/I]. We don't provide it to other government employees, or civilian and retired military (who have tricare and/or other Military Health System options). Wouldn't we be better off to provide them health care [I]coverage[/I], and let veterans seek care in a more traditional insurer/insured/provider relationship? Why clog up VA health care providers when the private providers can serve the patients and bill for the services? The VHA may have made sense closer to 1865 but we're 150 beyond that now. Is there something I am missing or does it make too much sense for the government to effect such a system? [/QUOTE]
