The Privatized VA & Veterans Will Be Put Under Future GOP Health Care Plans.

Even as we fight about health care the GOP wants to privatize the VA and put all veterans including retirees under voucher systems to purchase state run insurance under the new program. ACA repeal signals the end of federally funded care for veterans in the end.

Provisions screwing veterans may not be under this plan but it will be in the future. The goal is to roll all health care to the individual states with 50 different health care programs.

they'll sell insurance "across state lines" so that all of the policies are predicated on the state with the least regulation!

So, people will pay and pay and pay for worthless insurance that covers nothing.

Now, that is a wet dream for most of these assholes.

Then open it up and let the states compete to pass the most favorable legislation for the insurance companies. The trouble is that the argument is a straw man.
