EXCERPT:
NAHVI: “I just wanted to pick up on one thing. You did say, you said that you talk to the men and women in uniform, and they’re usually satisfied with their care. I work at a private hospital, a public hospital, and I also work at the VA as well. That’s been my experience too. I think you inadvertently just made a great case for Medicare for All. Our VA system is wonderful, we provide excellent care, and I’ve never had a patient at the VA leave against medical advice because they’re worried about the cost of their treatment. So I think that our men and women in uniform have great care, and it’s a federally-funded program where the doctors, they are employees of the government. And we have a single formulary and we take care of patients in a great medical way and also a financially responsible way. So I do think if it’s good enough for our men and women in uniform, it’s good enough for all Americans.”
