was saying, maybe we can show how much better it would work if we had more choices. that s where vouchers come in because the patient makes the choice. you re not told by a third party where to go. we do need that in health care which is not free markets. you get free markets in health care, we ll turn scarsity into abundance. no one starves. we have a lot of food. government doesn t run the foods. if they did, we d all be starving. rick i saw you shaking your head. first let me point out that i m a democrat and i can tell the vouchers news flash, you re a democrat. and yet i can still tell the difference between a voucher for the va and voucher for education. not all democrats are allergic i to the word. what is the difference? actually there s a big difference. vouchers for school says you can go outside of your district which would destroy a school district. voucher for getting medical care
sabrina shaffer. why shouldn t they have choice? veterans above the age of 65 should be able to go on medicare and choose medicare facilities. the va does a handful of things very well. it s the least we can do for them. what do you think? fight for them. i just worry that congress is going to nickel and dime this kind of voucher system that by the way the american legion doesn t like and neither does the other veteran s groups. sort of like what they did with medicare advantage. i just worry that with the way congress is behaving they ll say to the vets here s your green stamp of a voucher because we cut it back and nickel and dimed you so much and moving them into the private sector hospitals are becoming more like the dmv with obamacare and waiting lists there. that s an issue too. well, we want choices. as americans, we want choices and no americans deserve that
