As a still active member of the armed forces and soon to be veteran, ending VA healthcare will not be very well received by veterans throughout our country. When you say you would cut them a check to spend in the privatized sector for medical care, how big of a check do you plan to give them? Will you base that amount on their life expectancy? In case you were unaware, sir, the VA provides services to many veterans who would otherwise have no other means of receiving healthcare due to the cost of privatized medical care. Additionally, I ask about how big a check you would give the tens of thousands of veterans in this country because they range in age I would realistically say anywhere from 22 all the way to old age (80's-90's). Are you planning on giving the young guys an annual check? How about the elder veterans who served in some of our country's most vicious wars, including WWII? The VA needs your support as POTUS, not for you to end the medical support our veterans not only need, but rightfully earned and deserve.
Reform at the highest level of medical care in this area is what would be needed, not the elimination of a long withstanding support system for the veterans of this great nation. A much more detailed response would be needed in this endeavor, because you likely will not receive the support of the massive amount of veterans and active duty personnel, and not only them but all of their families and the patriots who support them.
Also, as Commander in Chief, you certainly would have to make very difficult decisions. Screwing the veterans who gave their honorable service, and the veterans who gave 20 or more years of their life to the causes which they signed up of their own free will , to follow orders regardless of their personal beliefs in defense of our nation...taking away benefits that they have rightfully earned will not be well received. Additionally, you wont receive alot of support from the conservatives/GOP.
Please, direct me to a more detailed response, because as a presidential candidate, respectfully, this is not sufficient enough of an answer to 'give an answer'.

Senator Sanders, thanks for your time. I hope am not too late.
As a member of our country's armed forces I see on a daily basis a struggle for many military families. While we do receive medical/dental and other valuable benefits, we far too often see those that separate from the armed forces left hanging in limbo as it has been shown through recent VA incidents. Also, aside from that, our country, more specifically our Congress, has been unable to pass a budget thus resulting in sequestration, and that is something many active service members both here at home and abroad are affected by on a daily basis. So my questions are to you:
What is your plan to effectively apply better medical and mental health treatment to our veterans, both in and out of the service?
What can we expect from your presidency moving forward regarding the funding of our armed forces?
Thanks for your time, I hope to receive a reply!

Well thank you for your appreciation of my statement. I feel that a statement like that, especially having been active for 2 enlistments, needs much more backing than a simple statement like "I'LL GIVE THE VETS FREE CHECKS!!" Yeah, that bullshit won't fly.
Edit: I'm assuming you are saying you are glad I typed out my response. If not, apologies.

As far as production goes in value as a job, I am about to take up audio engineering and hope to work with artists and producers like yourself, what would you say an engineer needs to have to find themselves in quality recording sessions?
