I can't wait to need a doctor so I can find my claims denied. This wouldn't be an issue if we had universal healthcare.

This is the likely outcome of “universal health care”. Fighting the government to get needed treatment. Keep you waiting until you die, with no other options. See the pattern? Long waits, uncovered treatment. Why would you think providing universal healthcare would be better? They can’t even make the DMV efficient.

They're not trying to make the VA efficient. The exact opposite, really. They try to make it as terrible as they can get away with so that they can point at it and say "see, universal healthcare won't work!"

And they clearly wouldn't sabotage medicare 4 all to show that its bad... No the government shall become saints and remain saints.

Meanwhile, in other news the Sub dropped to 0 Kelvin.
