Another disturbing V.A. story dumps MORE cold water on 'single-payer' cheerleaders

The problems with the V.A. have been well documented for a long time, and a new report has some unbelievable allegations going back many years:

#BREAKING: The Department of Veterans Affairs has allowed its hospitals across the country to hire health care providers with revoked medical licenses for at least 15 years in violation of federal law, a USA TODAY investigation has found. https://t.co/lS1bH1vXmi

Any comment, government health care proponents?

Single payer is going to rule https://t.co/vHZ8ZoMfZ8

And yet that won’t stop progressives from pushing it.

Yes, I absolutely want the level of care that only an incompetent government bureaucrat can provide

@USATODAY I thought Obama was going to take care of this years ago

Remember these things next time a media outlet publishes a "Koch brothers attack veteran health care" story. https://t.co/5weg43ZSkC

Talk to a doctor who's worked at a VA hospital. This is the tip of the iceberg https://t.co/Hy8TO0O7Cj

Remember when @ezraklein told us that the VA was the model of single-payer healthcare we should aspire to? https://t.co/898OWWBlVS

And the @TheDemocrats and @SenSanders want to put the government in charge of everyone’s health. No thanks

As a disabled veteran who has gotten all of my medical care at the VA for the past 15 years, this doesn't surprise me at all. The VA medical system is a disgrace.

I don't even have words for this. Our veterans deserve SO much better than they get. https://t.co/paHeA4k9cA
