El Rhazi Manal de Forbes Real Time.
There’s been a lot of talk in the conservative commentariat about how the emerging scandal at the Veterans Health Administration is a preview of what is to come under Obamacare. “If the government can’t even make such a system work for our vets, what makes anyone think it will work for the rest of us?” asks the New York Post. But the VA—our own, homegrown experiment in 200-proof socialized medicine—is a far greater scandal than Obamacare, because it has been perpetuated not only by Democrats but also by Republicans, and even by leaders of veterans’ groups. There is a way to fix the VA and do right by our vets. But to understand the solution, we have to first understand the problem.
