The problems/scandals that are surfacing in our veterans health care system do nothing but herald the kinds of problems that will beset a national health care system when Obama Care morphs to a national, single-payer system.
I have always been convinced that the original intent of the Obama effort was to include a government option that would eventually crowd out everything else and become a national, single-payer system. When the government option was taken out of the bill, it thwarted that end objective for a time. I think that the thinking now is this: When enough problems develop with the Affordable Health Care--that in itself is laughable--system, it can and will be replaced by a national system.
All for the general good, of course: Old guys like me can be allowed to die and get out of the way.
