Hmmm, I view the VA in the same way I see my dad's insurance plan. He retired from a company where he had a contract (UAW negotiated). Part of that contract was insurance for life paid for by the company he entered the contract with.

Military members have an enlistment contract that provides for medical care for life (with limitations) provided by the employers they entered into the contract with.

I don't see the socialized medicine angle.
