And the Veterans Administration, a fully funded government operation doesn’t cut corners, and didn’t shortchange services to veterans? It still doesn’t provide the kind of coverage members of the armed forces deserve.

Then, there’s the Indian Health Service, which is as screwed up a system as one can possibly imagine. Those are two systems operated top to bottom by the US government. Fix those first - make them run efficiently and control costs.

If you can’t succeed there, there’s absolutely no way you’re going to succeed with the rest of the health care delivery system, where hundreds of millions already have health insurance.

The issue isn’t one of access to health care, but cost - and Obama isn’t going to cut costs with his proposals…
