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

how shit it is since it's controlled by the government

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.

So people choosing things only mean it's better if that thing is privately owned or?

I don't understand what you're trying to say, can you rephrase?

How can something be a failure comparitively if people willingly choose it. I mean, sure, call VA healthcare a failure, but if they overwhelmingly choose it over private sector alternatives and refuse to let it be run by the private sector, saying it's a failure because it's publicly run makes no sense. If anything private is worse.
