If you recall Whell Bush Jr wanted to fold the VA into the private system.

Who's saying we want the VA folded into "the private system"? What's required is the folding of the VA into a universal public system.

The VA has special needs patients that require a staff with experience in battlefield injuries. So I think keep the VA is the best way to keep the skills where they are needed. Now for general medical yes but for the injuries requiring more specialized care no to going outsourced.
