I do not utilize VA health care. Even if I did, I would have earned it.

Not in my opinion. You're the kind I wouldn't want to pay a single dollar for your entitlements.

Polls say 70%+ do not want Obama-Care or government run healthcare.
About the same level also don't want to give illegals amnesty and about 63% don't want abortion in all cases.

Country is more conservative than libs would lead you to believe.

Then encourage more people who hold your beliefs to join the military and earn that VA care.

Government does a good job of oversight of private business. Their delivery of healthcare (at least in this state) stinks.

I couldn't less about my opinion be in the majority or minority, as long it gets the job done and in this case to point at hypocrisy.

That seems like you are saying publicly funded healthcare is a right. Why does anyone have the right to demand someone else pay for their healthcare? Because they want it?
Why do you thing publicly funded health care is "free"? You'd pay for it in taxes.

They don't understand the gov would be a much less expensive and more efficient insurance provider. It's a simple concept they refuse to grasp.

The problem is failure to communicate.
There is no "right to healthcare" when the government criminalizes the unlicensed (unpermitted) trade in it.
And by regulation, the government helped create scarcity and insufficient numbers of practitioners.
And by restriction, raised the cost to buy and sell health care, medicine, and medical appliances.
And by taxation, inflation, administrative overhead, etc, raised the cost to buy and sell, to the point that people have to buy INSURANCE - which only adds more cost.

If you really want UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE, get government out of the way.
Completely.
