DC Tom Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 That's right, because the private sector would never take care of our veterans Yep. Every single doctor I know refuses to treat veterans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeYouToTasker Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 You are right, that is not the point. If our government did not provide this care, the vets just wouldn't get the care. Say it with me: "Thank you government for caring for our veterans, like Gatorman" Well, they'd get care the same way everyone else does in the private sector, through their employer, or purchasing it on the private market, now unfortunately through the federal or state exchanges which have made care more expensive. They also enjoy additional health care through private sector charities like the one I linked, and the Wounded Warrior Foundation. But, like I said, care through the VA is provided to them as a condition of their employment. So your case is that we should be thrilled that an employer is honoring it's obligations?

boyst Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I want to hit 22,000 before the Bills opener. I am just going to come here and spew bull **** like Gatorman and Rob's House. My issue with this is that the veterans are veterans. See, they knew going in that they would be veterans, so why are they surprised now? This administration did not make them enlist. This administration does not owe them anything, because this administration has to save the whales and cut spending and keep our borders secure and America, like 1/3 of all people don't know where, such as, America is.

Wrong, wrong and wrong again. This administration has never cared about saving the whales (unless you are referring to mega donors) certainly hasn't ever said anything about cutting spending and thinking they care about secure borders is a pipedream. I am a veteran and for my time served I am legitimately entitled to VA benefits. In my community the VA is run pretty well and I have no problem with it. As TYTT has stated very well, VA benefits are part of my employment deal with the U.S. military. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you truly believed anything I had typed earlier then you're just not paying attention to who typed it. That Gatortard exists is just hilarious.

Tiberius Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 But, like I said, care through the VA is provided to them as a condition of their employment.

Chef Jim Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 What? Calling that socialized medicine and entitlement is a stretch. They are employee benefits and just because the government is the employer doesn't not make it socialized medicine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you still think government run healthcare is the way to go? That's rife with scandal and backlogged patients... are you really sure this is the example you want to hold up high?
