One way in which America has not stepped up the plate in recent years has been in the way it treats veterans health care. It’s an unfortunate, but accurate, stigma that if vets want the best health care available, they should turn to the private sector and ignore the care provided by the government.
This is incredibly sad, but it’s also a warning to Americans. The VA system of health is what healthcare run by the government will look like; inadequate, ineffective and criminally slow.
However, Democrat Nancy Pelosi is now pretending to stand up for veterans, despite ignoring this glaring problem for the last 8 years that the Democrats were in power.
Our veterans deserve better than this burdensome tax @HouseGOP is forcing on them. #TrumpCare

Awfully convenient that she’s all the sudden concerned.
Given, the bill may really be bad, as many Republicans believe, however this is not the woman you want championing a cause for healthcare.
I dare you to tell my brother's widow that O-care or the VA took good care of him. Want her phone number?

Unfortunately, the above sentiment isn’t an isolated one. The stories have been pouring in about how badly the bureaucracy of Obamacare impeded treatment of patients. And that’s not even taking into account how many healthcare professionals will be fleeing in the opposite direction of general care if socialized medicine makes a full force come back.
Boy, I sure like how U spoke out against obama and how the military and the VA was being handled NICE JOB proud of ya

I’d like to think that the Democrats would be above exploiting the compassion that Americans have for their service men and women to further her their own agenda, but it doesn’t look like that’s the case.
Unfortunately, America tried Obamacare, and it was just as bad as we thought it would be. Don’t even try to manipulate us into going back, we value the free market’s way of taking care of us too much.
