I guess that's why a whole lot of Canadians come to border cities, such as; Buffalo, Burlington VT, Seattle, Detroit, etc.for medical & dental care? They apparently don't think single payer is anything close to great. Ever been to the UK? Dental work is seriously lacking, and you can actually die while waiting for certain surgical procedures.
Most service members will tell you that they avoid the VA, if other alternates are available. A friend of mine said, "they tried to kill me so many times/ways, when I was in, there's no way I'll give them another chance to excel, now that I'm out." The government has been so successful with Everything else that they've gotten in to, my freedom, or as you see it "privilege," is to make my own decisions when it comes to health, and keep the government as far away as possible.
