The GOP Push to Privatize the Dept of Veterans Affairs

We've seen what "PRIVATIZATION" has done to 'health care' and it isn't pretty!
Only the bottom line matters and not the quality of care.

Our Veterans deserve the best care!
The Veterans Administration, with few exceptions, has delivered that care, while the GOP has opposed requisite funding.

Because many of veterans' conditions and treatment require specialized care, it can't be provided on the CHEAP!

Let's not allow the Dirty Energy Koch Brothers to shortchange our Veterans!





Late last summer and early last fall, The Undercurrent, a web-show sponsored by American Family Voices, released several hours of audio from the June Koch brothers donor retreat. One of the panels featured Pete Hegseth, the CEO of Concerned Veterans for America (CVA), and he said some nakedly political things about his organization’s efforts to drive the scandal at the Department of Veterans Affairs.

We can all agree that veterans deserve the highest degree of care, both on the battlefield and back at home. But CVA is using the Veterans Affairs scandal as a political pawn to push the privatization of the agency’s hospitals — a Republican idea that had been unpopular and thus hard for candidates to embrace publicly. Now that the VA is vulnerable, thanks largely to the CVA undermining it — lo and behold — the GOP presidential candidates support privatization of the VA.

Last night, Rachel Maddow did a great piece of investigative work to further expose these efforts, drawing on the audio from The Undercurrent.
