They should do away with the VA and give disabled vets tricare for life. Them they could go wherever they wanted to

Cutting edge? They are finding new ways to make vets wait in line until they die for treatment they need. If you call that technology, they can keep it. I suppose they could keep an R&D unit open. Or sell it to the highest bidder and contract with whoever buys it to accept tricare.

Privatization means there is a profit motive, which means the dollar is more important, enough said?
