More, and replace the VA healthcare system with a personal health savings account

While Ford might have been open to the idea of health savings accounts as a free market solution, there is no evidence to suggest that he would have supported replacing the VA healthcare system entirely with such a scheme. His administration did not take any steps in this direction.

Disagree

Less

Ford, as a Republican, generally favored less government intervention in sectors like healthcare. Therefore, he would likely disagree with the idea of less privatization, but not strongly, as his stance on veterans' healthcare specifically is not well-documented.
