VA health care is still rated as good as or better than any health care in the U.S. Vets like it, and all the major vet orgs are constantly fighting attempts to privatize VA care.

Every scandal in the vast VA system is used by the RW to further their efforts to privatize the VA. We should be outraged when these scandals occur. But we also should be mindful and point out the advantages and the benefits of the VA for vets.
