That's a fair argument

The VA doesn't run the active duty healthcare system. Only retired veterans

The gov. also provides healthcare for Native Americans. It's as bad as you'd

I loved it before Obamacare when health insurance premiums never increased.

The true goal of ObamaCare is a single payer system.

Obamacare will never be successful until a public option is added and therefore

I disagree with you there. As would the rest Western Civ and then some.

for the majority of cases, though, the military also owns the doctors

When setup correctly, single payer works

It will never be setup correctly because single payer doesn't work...

coverage doesn't mean you get care!

Yeah not sure what is worse.
TheMaineCougar

It is not just cancer. Even common care that is routine is denied to older folks
