National health care

For those advocating a "single payer" or national health care system to replace Obamacare, they should read this piece from the Washington Post about the Veterans Health Administration, the largest health care system in the nation.

Do we really want something so inefficient?

The Veterans Health Administration is a mature system, with hundreds of treatment locations around the nation, employing thousands of heath care personnel.  If, with all these resources, the government can not provide timely and quality care to a small percentage of the population, there is no reason whatsoever to believe the government will be able to provide timely and quality care to more than 300,000,000 citizens.

Big government is not the answer.
