Most of us realize that health insurance is broken.

I agree Boston has top notch resources, but I was just using examples of what the medical journals were saying about studies done on the VA system (across the board)

What scares me is my friend in Canada who lives in a rural area.

I agree with little that mom-faith3 has to say. But I have to agree with her recent posting on the VA. Perhaps you haven't been in one lately?

My spouse and I both receive VA medical benefits and could not be more happy or impressed with the treatment/system. Maybe it's a regional thing. I don't like the idea of it being opened up to the masses. Veterans are a great bunch of folks and I believe part of what makes the VA as good as it is are the patients.

I've experienced non-VA services as well and if I had a choice, I'd stick with the VA.

We Americans got comfortable with employer paid benefits and as with most things that appear to be free, took advantage.

I found this on McCain's healthcare plan, and I don't like it at all.
