Why are there VA hospitals?? Seriously if I was President Trump I'd make an executive order today eliminating all VA hospitals within 6 months, and give every veteran the right to go to whatever hospital or doctor they want to go to. Give them the same medical insurance as members of congress or better.

Its not a bad idea. If you're wounded overseas or as a result of military duty, you should get govt healthcare for life.
Of course every army grunt, marine PFC, etc that trips and falls during recruit training will claim the benefit. Even so you have to wonder if that would be cheaper than operating the VA as is.

That sounds great and all but there are some very special needs Vets require such as:
1. Advanced research and care for amputees
2. PTSD treatment
3. Long term In-patient treatment for both medical and psychological issues
You might be able to privatize the VA but I wouldn't want to see it go completely away.
Having a VA hospital helps vets connect with other vets who suffer as they do.
