The VA Way

(April 23, 2009)  Editor:

Very interesting article on the single-payer system and Dr. Ring’s approach to informing the public. However, if you want to know what a single-payer system would be like, we have an entire segment of our population that now has a one: our veterans.

An interesting article could be written by interviewing some vets and getting their take on a single-payer system. After all, they’ve been using such a system for decades.

Just a thought.
