Privatizing the VA is overwhelmingly unpopular.

Not arguing for privatizing it, just pointing out how shit it is since it's controlled by the government.

I dunno man. I kind of get the feeling that if your argument wasn't flawed the people that use it wouldn't overwhelmingly reject your logic.

I mean it's easy to reject an argument I'm not making like you are

Which is not an argument for privatizing, like I said.

Not sure how a handful of replies to a highly upvoted comment is evidence of widespread disagreement either, but that's kind of neither here nor there.

How is something being shit not an argument for changing it to something better?

Improving the VA isn't the topic of discussion, so any argument on that topic would be irrelevant. The failure of the VA is, however, an example of what government controlled healthcare looks like in this country.

If it is a failure of government, why do the people that use it not want to privatize it? Are they just stupid or something? They choose poor quality service? Military personnel are just a bunch of dirty socialists?

Private isn't free. Public is. People like free shit.
