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.
@85QWNPG4yrs4Y

@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.
@8NMTXR9Republican4yrs4Y
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.
@9M7WCXZ21hrs21H
More, they should be allowed to see any doctor of their choice, and we should increase funding to improve the system we have.
@9M699Z32 days2D
Neither. Increase the funding for government veteran healthcare systems but also allow private organizations to continue their practice.
@9M3KVCG5 days5D
I think we must really improve the VA efficiency and quality, and focus more on the veterans then only on the business.
@9M2XM6X6 days6D
Veterans should be able to choose any private option they want to, but the current system also needs to increase funding.
@9M2CVN4 6 days6D
The decision on whether there should be more or less privatization of veterans' healthcare depends on various factors.
@9LY6CPP1wk1W
Unless the person is an ACTIVE member of the military, the government should not be involved in healthcare.
