The VA can’t even handle veteran care properly, this is just kicking veterans while they’re down.

    This is the reason obstructionism works. The VA sucks because it’s not funded, because some people in our politics keep voting against it, among other things. This bolsters their own argument that “you must keep health care private, because look how bad government healthcare is”

    You can’t point at half-assed things that were intentionally neutered and then claim it’s evidence a more comprehensive solution wouldn’t work

    Also Medicare is great. All the senators and house reps love it.

        Because in order to get UHC at all you have to get rid of the obstructionists first ;D Until then, you’re not actually getting UHC

        ETA: if you’re already starting with the assumption that extreme corruption is inevitable in any and all systems regardless of attempts at mitigation then there’s no point in anything, as everything will always end in corruption and it becomes “pick your preferred flavor of hell”.
