Sen. Bernie Sanders, a Vermont Independent, posted a summary of his bill Sunday and said it would be introduced this week.
The bill would allow veterans facing long delays to seek care outside the VA, at private doctors’ offices, military bases or community health centers. It also authorizes emergency funding to hire new doctors and nurses and would provide scholarships or forgive college loans for doctors and nurses who go to work at the VA. In addition, it would give the department authority to fire poor-performing executives, but not as broadly as a bill passed in the House and defeated in the Senate last month.

So...what you want is Medicare for vets. Well...well...whell. It's convoluted Medicare of course, because the last thing we want is for anybody but the geezers to get Medicare. You're probably not all that thrilled that us geezers get it. Of course it's another politically motivated half-assed fix for the screwed up military sector of our screwed up health care system.
One more time...universal medicare for everybody. Geezers to infants...and for all stateside military personnel.
