But we do have proof. The VA and the fact the government is the single largest provider in the country. So you believe going with them as the only provider would or could be better?

I’m saying that using the fact that the current system sucks is not an argument AGAINST changing it. I hear people resisting any sort of change in healthcare and their thinking seems to be that *this* is as good as it gets, so changing it could only make things worse, leading to the “frog slowly heating up in the pot syndrome.” I absolutely don’t think the entire country needs the VA model. It’s just sad that people are so unhappy with what they have, but so fearful of change that they don’t want to do anything different. We are such an unhealthy country and so dependent on the medical industry. It’s like we are all in an abusive relationship.
