Thank you for doing this AMA. I realize that you are probably here to discuss the repeal and replacement of Obamacare but I feel like when these things come up, other areas of healthcare get pushed to the shadows and not discussed.
One example is the healthcare of veterans. As a vet, I have an obvious bias but in my opinion, this is just as important as whether ACA is passed or not. I say that because we are losing veterans at an alarming rate due to the injuries they sustained while fighting to protect our liberties as US citizens; often time due to suicide. However, the VA’s efforts to treat these problems are severely lacking. If you don’t believe me, take a look at what some veterans are saying about their treatment and tell me this doesn’t seem like an issue to you.
What are your thoughts on how the Veterans Affairs is operating and what can we as a society do to improve it? Also, how, if any does the proposed AHCA impact the healthcare of veterans?
