Bill, you are conflating two issues. One issue, some pricing pressures on drug companies. Second issue, the quality of medical care at Walter Reed. Very different issues.

The reason for the bad medical care at Walter Reed is not because "government is always bad." It's far more specific. As you well know, there are well run government programs and badly run ones. Not so different from the private sector.

If you are so worried about those government programs that you would like to forward your social security check to me, I'll be happy to receive it. ;-)

I think if the vets' care had not been outsourced "for profit", it might have been much better:
