Medical Care

There was a time when the VA was the dregs of our healthcare system. It seems that is no longer the case. According to the above study, the VA is now one of the best places in the country to get healthcare, and it is also one of the most cost effective.

We are so used to hearing extreme viewpoints on what makes for good healthcare, that we are unlikely to do anything with this new information. That would be unfortunate, because the VA seems to offer us a template for how to do it right without bankrupting us. The question remains why we let ourselves stay in the crossfire.
