i feel like if they need it for medical reasons its okay but if just becuase they want to be ¨perfect¨ no

@9RQGJH510mos10MO

Veterans should be granted equal healthcare to any other citizen
@95YCCVD3yrs3Y
Less, we should have single payer socialized medicine.
@94SRY6M3yrs3Y
Don’t know enough about it
@92K2FCTLibertarian3yrs3Y

@8RMG3KT4yrs4Y
Less privatization, but veterans should be allowed to see any doctor they want.
@8RK742K4yrs4Y
Veterans should be medically covered under a single-payer system alongside other benefits provided by the VA
@8NXBDYF5yrs5Y
Free health care for all. Everything covered. Humans first. We deserve too thrive.
@8F3CJHJ5yrs5Y

@8CBYJDSLibertarian5yrs5Y
Neither, we should replace the VA with a universal healthcare system.
@98R75JP2yrs2Y
I'm fine with where we are.
@97QZL2G3yrs3Y
less privatization, single payer health care for everyone
