VA hospitals do not deliver inferior care
This study shows that it delivers acute care similar to that seen in the private sector. That sends a big message about health care policy.
I work in the private sector of healthcare. It’s wasteful, costly, inefficient, unfair, and make no mistake, it denies and rations care. It’s a national embarrassment.
The VA system is not perfect, but US healthcare would do well to be more like the VA.
