In a number of our
VA scandal posts (the number of facilities under investigation has
swelled to 26,
by the way), we've advanced a perfectly obvious political point: The
bureaucratic corruption and abuses now coming to light ought to serve as
stark warnings against expanding single-payer healthcare in America.
If government apparatchiks can fail our combat veterans
this
badly -- in a limited-scope, government-run program that virtually all
Americans support -- what possible justification is there for foisting
this failing model onto the entire country? Care is being rationed and
withheld. Backlogs have
grown much worse, despite big budget increases. And manipulation and neglect are being deliberately and systematically hidden, with evidence
allegedly being destroyed now that the fraudulent practices are being investigated. This is not the future any American should want;
nor is this.
But in the thick of the Obamacare debate, Democrats and liberals in
the media dismissed Republican arguments about the risks of
government-administered health programs, arguing that conservative "fear
mongering" was contradicted by the glowing success of...the VA. Phil
Kerpen has been on an absolute tear, exploiting the internet wayback
machine to remind the country of the justifications they entered into
evidence circa 2009 and 2010.
