Fight over privatizing veterans care moves from campaign trail to House

By: Leo Shane III, Military Times, September 28, 2016
A key Democrat wants to bring the presidential campaign fight over veterans health care to the House floor, offering a resolution Wednesday that opposes the privatization of Veterans Affairs programs.

The measure, sponsored by House Veterans’ Affairs Committee ranking member Mark Takano, D-Calif., carries with it no force of law and has little chance of advancing in the Republican-controlled chamber.

Takano -- along with Congressional Progressive Caucus co-chairs Reps. Raúl Grijalva, D-Ariz., and Keith Ellison, D-Minn. -- argues the proposal is needed to “echo the voices of millions of veterans who oppose the privatization of the Veterans Health Administration.” It states that lawmakers should stand against any policy that would jeopardize health care offerings for veterans “by moving essential resources to the private sector.”

After recently looking through my VA disability claim paperwork and the gross ineptitude by not only the VA, but its contractors I say to hell with Takano and his demoncRAT buddies, let's try the privatization and see how it works.

If Grijavala and Ellison are involved, I don't want anything to do with it.  Those 2 are 2 of the worst...a socialist POS and a muslim POS.
