Keep in mind HRC rode her husband's coat tails. She didn't get to be a Senator or SoS because she's a brilliant thinker or negotiator.
The VA already has a program where vets can be referred to civilian doctors if the wait is too long.
Problem with privatization that the Reps keep trying to push is it will cost vets a lot of money out of pocket. Rep politicians say they support the military and start conflicts/commitments around the world, but they don't want to pay for the medical care from having one's body beaten up because it's very expensive. A huge way they've kept the cost down is by having a separate medical system though it's not ideal.
If Reps privatize this, pat yourself on the back while saying: fuck you veterans. Don't even think about they won't cost shift. That's the whole point of the Reps privatization idea. The ones wanting this will have sticker shock.
The gov has already broken so many promises to vets. What's another one right? Just say it slowly after me: Fuck You Vets.
