Military healthcare only works because the private system is available when
it fails.

Yep. The left used to hold up the VA as the shining example of how well a single

Technically, VA is single provider and single payer

I slightly disagree. Single-payer can have its issues due to poor administration

Obamacare didn't burn anything to the ground. It built it up.

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.

Obamacare is indefensible. Premiums never increased triple digit percentages

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.

you show me where it works...

Easily explained.

I believe that "crappy" coverage doesn't exist anymore.

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

Absolutely LOVED the health care we received while on Active Duty.

When setup correctly, single payer works
TheMaineCougar

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

If you don't mind your parents being denied care, good for you!.....

I suppose that's different than not getting coverage because you can't afford it
TheMaineCougar
10/25/16 8:13am
coverage doesn't mean you get care!

10/25/16 8:28am
Yeah not sure what is worse.
TheMaineCougar

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

No it doesn't

That's second lowest on OECD healthcare satisfaction. Still way better than US

How exactly does the Canadian Health Care System work?

That is a nutso statement... Single Payer lowers quality and raises admin fees
