They already are. My sister is the prime example. She has two part time jobs, neither of which offer healthcare coverage and pay so low she cannot afford to buy her own. So, she uses her VA benefits. She has NO CHOICE.

Another relative in Ohio works in the healthcare industry. She has told me that in the last few years the traffic at the VA hospital in Warren has skyrocketed------because the private sector is FAILING to provide healthcare benefits to employees, over and above the effect of unemployment.
