with VA healthcare, but all-in-all, I'm happy to have it.

The so-called "Concerned Veterans of America" are all for privatization. What they clearly fail to realize, among a host of other things, is that private sector healthcare ain't all that great. For-profit healthcare has had it's share of disastrous screw-ups. If they didn't, why do medical practitioners need malpractice insurance?

Arguing for privatization on the presumption it's better is ridiculous and the CVA are being used by the Kochs to monetize war from cradle to grave.
