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.

They should have the choice to receive healthcare in either form, private or government.
@8NMTXR9Republican4yrs4Y
I think veterans' should get lowered or free healthcare just because of what they did for our county.
@sophlaneProgressive 4yrs4Y
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.
@9MYY7PJ5 days5D
More, expand TRICARE to allow veterans to choose their own healthcare and help cover out of pocket costs
@9MYDFG7 6 days6D
ALL veterans who have lost a limb or suffered an debilitating injury IN COMBAT should be funded and aided by all means necessary. If we can fund multi million airplanes and ships, we should provide for those who have given their ultimate for us to enjoy our lives
@9MXZ4576 days6D
Provide plenty of Healthcare for veterans, but make Healthcare equal and accessible to everyone instead of overcharging for health
@9MTZNC41wk1W
Less, assimilate the VA into a broader single-payer system to ensure that veterans are as fully covered as everyone else
@9MS94TY 1wk1W
Allow veterans to see any doctor of their choice, but increase funding and oversight of the current system so that it will be the best option for veterans.
