I simply do not see it this way.

I've been very pleased with my health care. I've been able to choose my doctors,
I've been able to get appointments when I needed them, service was speedy.  And yes,
there have been medical problems, illness which was hard to diagnose, frustrating to
treat.

My best friend dealt with the Veteran's Administration (gov't run) hospital service.
 Often I was his chauffeur and any appointment took the entire day - wait wait wait.
Meds were delayed hours, and there were big waiting rooms just for the pharmacy.
Each visit to the VA reinforced my joy and relief at dealing with the private
sector.

Regards,
MB
