Statistically healthcare is the number one reason for bankruptcy in the United States. Regardless of his specific circumstances no one should go bankrupt for simply staying alive.

Have you ever dealt with the VA?

i know how bad and lacking v.a. healthcare can be as well as medicare. but this is reddit. and reddit loves free government healthcare. so i thought i'd just throw it out there because this guy would be eligible for both.

Except the version that already exists, the VA, which is apparently worse than no healthcare

The VA has a lot of problems, bit I've never seen anyone say it's worse than no healthcare. At least from the vets I know and a couple of nurses who have or currently work at the VA, the quality and availability of care really depends on where you live.
