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.

Easily explained.

Military healthcare only works because the private system is available when

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

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!

Yeah not sure what is worse.

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

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