I'd compare M4A to Medicare/Medicaid, if you look at patient surveys they are much happier in general than people who have to deal with insurance companies.
- criddell 6y agoWe really should fix the VA though too.
- afarrell 6y agoYes. I do not know why Democrats block bills to fix the VA.

- ssully 6y agoTried to find what you are talking about. Turned up a lot of political meme's basically saying vote for Trump, because democrats tried blocking the VA Mission Act. Looked up the actual vote counts and it passed successfully with strong bipartisan support in both the house and senate [1]. Are you referring to something else?
