Last year, I wrote several times about government health care and the Veterans Administration hospitals. I received several comments that my experiences were not typical and the VA had a model system and was recognized as such.
Well, maybe. But here is another voice... a doctor, who shares my frustration.
I still believe the VA does a lot of good for a lot of veterans. I also still believe the system could be improved significantly. If the VA system is the model of superior government health care, we all might want to think very long and hard about wanting to create a general government health care system for this country.Good computer systems do not automatically translate into a good health care system... regardless of what a Rand study might indicate.
