Chuck-
Yes, I do realize the VA and military hospitals are different- but they are both government funded health care, which is apparently good enough for our soldiers- would they be better off with private sector health insurance?

And yes, anyone can go get free care at an emergency room- but only if they are in an emergency condition- if you have, say, cancer, you don’t get radiation on an emergency basis- which means you can die without care.

Which is absurd, isn’t it? We will gladly pay for a pound of cure, but refuse to pay for an ounce of prevention.
