Good example of how a government ran health care would work!

All from the brain trust that wants socialized health care!!! Brilliant, just brilliant. I am surprised that with all the paperwork required by the VA that this got out so soon, should have taken another 10 years of red tape!!
When I was in the Army, several soldiers went to Canada. They went AWOL & were dodging the war. After the Vietnam War, they stayed there until US granted them a pardon. Considering the news about the bad Canadian healthcare, I now wonder if they were denied health care.
In Texas many year ago, I knew of a bad situation of a veteran who was scheduled for a knee operation. The VA gave him blood that was infested w/aids. That veteran died shortly thereafter.
I am a believer in tort reform, but that does not mean that I believe Doctors should not be sued. The VA at this time does not allow the veterans to sue for malpractice. Vets cant even get a 2nd medical opinion.
Thank you for serving arlenearmy. As far as doctors being sued, I agree, some doctors deserve to be sued. But without some kind of cap on damages, malpractice insurance becomes very expensive for the majority of doctors, including good doctors. The VA…they’re a debate in and of themselves.
