I guess all we really want is good health care. How can we best get that? You're right, the VA healthcare system does not work. It's under funded, under staffed, over loaded and is a military government institution full of beaurocracy. I think we need to sweep out all these programs, including medicare and medicaid, and replace them with a healthcare system that serves every man, woman and child. The system we have now serves no one well and everyone poorly. As for large government programs, I agree they can be a nightmare too. That's why we need to overhaul the current programs, and build a new one free from abuses. Can it be done? I think it can, but it will need checks and balances to prevent abuse. The medicare and medicaid programs are rampant with abuse. We need to change this. Orca
