The Department of Veterans Affairs and Government Health Coverage

If you want to see how poorly the government supervises health care look at its record of treating veterans over the years. If the government covers veterans so poorly, how do you think it will treat the general population?

Apart from general neglect of needs, this includes experience with health care rationing and questionable episodes during the Clinton Administration, which were remedied in part during George W. Bush’s tenure.

Add to the mixture the pressure of enormous additional scope of coverage and the potential for fraud, which now is a major factor in Medicaid and Medicare, and you have one gigantic mess.

Notice that the media have swept this scandal under the rug while the health insurance debate has been unfolding?
