Krugman Praises VA Healthcare

Tom suggests that VA Healthcare should be privatized.  The funny or sad part is that there are some prominent defenders of this system.  Like Paul Krugman, who writes:

I know about a health care system that has been highly successful incontaining costs, yet provides excellent care. And the story of thissystem’s success provides a helpful corrective to anti-governmentideology. For the government doesn’t just pay the bills in this system– it runs the hospitals and clinics… our very own Veterans HealthAdministration, whose success story is one of the best-kept secrets inthe American policy debate.

I know where I’d like to send Paul Krugman for his health care.
