In a 2006 article in the New York Times, Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman wrote that the VA offered a “helpful corrective” to the anti-government ideology” of those who opposed government-run health care (quotes via James Taranto at the Wall Street Journal):

“Success story”? What about now?

@MZHemingway There isn't even any snarky humor in this … Obama and the kneepad media are simply horrible human beings.
