I'd guess many of those officials are chosen because of their
rigidity or lack of imagination or smarts or a combination of all
three. Or maybe, it's fear of being punished for thinking for
themselves prevents a more realistic scenario.

And these are the people we are going to entrust with our health
care.

Different group of people and certainly a different mindset.

Now why would senators and other government employees be happy to be
covered by a US health plan?

OTOH, The VA health coverage is by far not as good as that of NY Ciy
Medical schools for their employees ...

I use VA health care. My wife has been using what I call civilian
health care.

God protect from having to deal with those assholes for my own care.
It's bad enough pushing to get her well taken care of.

Compared to much of the local medical care, VA in this area is a
shining example they should strive to match. It's far from perfect,
but civilian medical care and its application is so irregular, and
filled with asininities, that it's almost a waste of time.

Someone made a smart-assed comment about getting insurance by getting
a job that pays above minimum wage. That's pure bull****, and he knows
it. Fewer and fewer jobs today offer decent medical insurance. Medical
insurance is becoming difficult to afford except for the upper middle
class, which is ironic, because the way insurance has changed in the
past 50 or so years is a large part of the problem with medical care
in the U.S.

Amen to all that. I'm not using VA medical care except to get my yearly
flushot (free, takes 2 min 37 seconds for my as nominal employee - I'm
WOC -, including filling out the registration form). Other healthcare
through Cornell's plan with United Healthcare.

I do believe that the care in the Manhattan VA is very good (it's an NYU
teaching hospital). That doesn't mean that all VA's are good, or in good
all specialties. That is where caveat emptor still applies.
