"it's even less efficient that its government-run counterparts" Because the VA System is so lean, mean and well run. All health care should be modeled after the gubberment Rolls eyes
I'm a physician, and I have worked in several VAs, but don't work in one presently. They vary significantly in quality, but the good ones where I have worked are excellent by any standard. In a good VA, the bang-for-the-buck is untouchable anywhere else in the US health sector without compromising on good care. Sadly, bad ones are still bad.
