Capt. Pete Hegseth: VA Dysfunction Is a Preview of What’s to Come from ObamaCare

Hegseth: VA Dysfunction Is a Preview of Obamacare (Washington Free Beacon)

The government’s botched handling of veteran’s health care is an unwelcome preview of what to expect from Obamacare, Capt. Pete Hegseth of “Concerned Veterans for America” told Fox News Friday.

Pouring money into healthcare.gov, just as the government did with Veterans Affairs, trying to bring it up to speed, has offered similarly poor results.

“When the government does technology, it does it poorly,” Hegseth said. “Nowhere near what the private sector can do. You also can’t choose your doctor. In VA, it’s single payer. It’s not the exact same as Obamacare. VA is single-payer, no choice. Well we’ve seen plenty of people who thought they could keep their insurance or keep their doctor under Obamacare not be able to do that. A lot of the same attributes.”
