Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Photoshop or real pose? (The Maine Wire)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez references what her parents said with regards to things that aren’t broken… If’ aint broke, don’t fix it. And, according to her, the VA “aint” broke. What’s more? She argues that they’re providing top-notch care.<\/p>\n

As a whole, that’s debatable. The quality of service is going to depend on the VA hospital and VA CBOC. The quality of the team assigned to a veteran is also going to play a role. Some facilities and teams are going to provide very good service; others have plenty of room for improvement. Veterans, the users of the system, provided some of the recommendations that President Trump ultimately pushed for.<\/p>\n

From Fox News:<\/span><\/p>\n

“That is the opening approach we have seen when it comes to privatization, it’s the idea that this thing that isn’t broken, this thing that provides some of the highest quality care to our veterans somehow needs to be fixed, optimized, tinkered with until we don’t even recognize it anymore,” she said, in comments first reported by The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n

“They are trying to fix the VA for pharmaceutical companies, they are trying to fix the VA for insurance corporations, and, ultimately they are trying to fix the VA for a for-profit healthcare industry that does not put people or veterans first,” she said. “And so we have a responsibility to protect it.”<\/p>\n

Ocasio-Cortez’s comments were aimed at Trump administration efforts to expand choice and private health care options in the VA health care system, particularly via the MISSION Act — signed into law by President Trump last year.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The article continues on to talk about how Bernie Sanders is pushing to implement Medicare-for-all. Other candidates, for the Democratic nomination, appear to be hopping onboard with this plan.<\/p>\n

People might ask, “Have they lost their collective minds?” Well, they’re catering to the younger voters, as well as to where the Democratic Party has shifted. This segment of the population is not as hostile to socialism, or its creep into our society, as we are. Some actually think it’s a good thing.<\/p>\n
