In 2019 the Trump administration proposed shifting billions of dollars from government-run veterans’ hospitals to private health care providers. The guidelines would make it easier for veterans to receive care in privately run hospitals and have the government pay for it. Veterans would also be allowed access to a system of proposed walk-in clinics, which would serve as a bridge between V.A. emergency rooms and private providers.

Less. Assimilate the Veterans Affairs healthcare program into one, large single payer healthcare program so veterans can access high-quality healthcare at all times.
Less and More, veterans should be fully covered to see any doctor of their choice both within the VA healthcare system or in private practice
@8H6V2PM4yrs4Y
This question needs to be reworded. Not all Veterans receive healthcare from the VA. Many that are not fully disabled or retired go on to other jobs which give them the opportunity to use other healthcare options. Also, there had been some changes to Vets being allowed to choose their primary care doctor. Is this question regarding sole reliance on VA health benefits?
@8QR2KDT3yrs3Y
I think it's fine as it is.
@8J5PM984yrs4Y
I am happy with the current privatization of Veterans healthcare
@9FJ48JHIndependent7mos7MO
Make it the veteran's choice
@8GCGNFV4yrs4Y
The current system is fine.

@9C9RRLQ11mos11MO
Less,and we should nationalize veterans healthcare.
@982G4TZ1yr1Y

Less, and socialize all healthcare
@8YT2SSF2yrs2Y
Maintain current level of privatization

@8YSMXC42yrs2Y
More, and the Government shouldn't be involved in healthcare
@8SQYSXD3yrs3Y
They should have the choice to receive healthcare in either form, private or government.
@8NMTXR9Republican3yrs3Y
I think veterans' should get lowered or free healthcare just because of what they did for our county.
@sophlaneProgressive 3yrs3Y
Why not make healthcare free for all Americans and not just veterans? See I get your reasoning for why they should get free healthcare, but every single working American, rich or poor, help create this country together. If free universal healthcare was implemented, this would not have to be a large problem.
@9LJRKPB5 days5D
Veteran's deserve so much more, they get the training to do what they have got to do, but no help when returning to civilian life
@9LFW5MS 1wk1W
Same system everyone else is on. Military should have been paid well enough to save and make the payments everyone else does until they are able to work.
@9LDNSXJIndependent1wk1W
Less, and we need to be improving all sorts of healthcare without having to rely on ineffective elites
@9LC5YX42wks2W
Our veterans should get anything they need from the USA. So sad that illegal immigrants get more than our veterans. Just horrible!
@9LBJ943 2wks2W
No, because I think they can get better healthcare than Alfred by the government funded facilities. Again, competition necessitates, higher quality to compete.
@9LB6BMJ2wks2W
Less, we should increase fund to improve the current system, but veterans should also be able to see any doctor of their choice.
@2SZNB8BIndependent 2wks2W
We should socialize medicine and healthcare in general but veterans should be able to see any doctor of their choice
