Arguing against doing the current way they propose! It's not 100% socialized, there are stipulations to VA Health coverage (such as certain disability rating). While not every Veteran gets it, those that do there are some rules to it. I'm not saying a universal healthcare is wrong, but for crying out loud do it right. Frankly all these attacks against me saying I'm a hypocrite (and not in so many words but I can read between the lines) are a bit unnerving as you totally disregard the point I'm trying to make. George W. Bush even said it, our current system is broken, it's open to abuse, and we have too many people without coverage that need it. But exempting lawmakers and the president himself is wrong. Making sub-standard care the norm is also wrong. Health insurance is a luxury in this country, and yes that I feel is wrong. I don't think only the rich should be able to afford it, I know people who need it but don't have it, then there are others who have it and don't need it. Something is wrong here, but I'm not smart enough on this topic to propose the fix.
