Yesterday at a townhall event, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) decided to let the audience know that the Veteran’s Administration gives “the highest quality [health]care” to veterans.

HA!

Then she proceeded to say “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”, see the problem here is, is that it is broke and I’m not quite sure how to fix it. The problem isn’t that she doesn’t think it’s broken, as she’s the farthest thing from a veteran as possible, the problem is that she wants everyone to think the VA is great. Why? She wants the same level of healthcare for everyone.

Let’s look at the numbers, shall we? In 2018, the VA inspector general released a report saying one third of the vets waiting to receive eligibility for benefits were dead. They were waiting so long that they DIED. This is definitely the highest quality of healthcare available, definitely.

For those of you reading this that may want medicare for all, you have to realize that the government is not able to give high quality healthcare to anyone. It will give the cheapest healthcare available for the price. This is not the best, as you get what you pay for.

Socialists of all stripes want you to be duped into thinking that the same level of healthcare that you pay out of pocket for now is going to be the same,. Remember “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor”? It’s the same idea. If she can’t shove down the audience’s throats that the VA is good, then how can she possibly get anyone, besides her frothing fanboys, to buy into the fact that government run healthcare is a good thing.

If we can’t take care of our vets correctly, myself included, how in the hell are we going to take care of 300 million + people?
