It was Friday when ABC News chief political analyst Matthew Dowd declared it time for America to switch to a singer payer health care system.
It is time in our country that leaders on both sides consider a single payer fix to healthcare. The system we have now is a mess.— Matthew Dowd (@matthewjdowd) May 5, 2017
However, it wasn’t until the online conversation took a few turns that Dowd droppedthis stunning fact: people in the Veterans Administration system are happier with their care than are people in private health care.
@Caper29b @island_girl421 @HKP2012 Again, people in medicare and at VA are much happier with their care and cost than people in private healthcare. Facts.— Matthew Dowd (@matthewjdowd) May 6, 2017
The VA….. seriously???? https://t.co/Y6ZuImf5El— EducatdHillbilly (@RobProvince) May 7, 2017
@matthewjdowd @island_girl421 @HKP2012 Really? You're using Medicare and the VA as benchmarks.— Reacher said nothing (@Caper29b) May 6, 2017
@matthewjdowd @Caper29b @island_girl421 @HKP2012 This has got to be the dumbest thing I've read in months— Taryn (@TarynOnthenews) May 7, 2017
@matthewjdowd @Caper29b @island_girl421 @HKP2012 My god..that has to be dumbest tweet I've seen all year— Brian (@bric882009) May 7, 2017
@matthewjdowd @Caper29b @island_girl421 @HKP2012 This would be much funnier if I didn't know so many people who've had to deal with the VA healthcare system. https://t.co/Lg0cE4rurU— Huxley's Ghost (@AF632) May 7, 2017
@matthewjdowd @Caper29b @island_girl421 @HKP2012 VA much bro? Facts.— The Irreverent (@gunboss68) May 7, 2017
@matthewjdowd @Caper29b @island_girl421 @HKP2012 When was the last time you were in a VA hospital?— ScottJrInTX (@ScottJr78) May 7, 2017
@matthewjdowd @Caper29b @island_girl421 @HKP2012 You obviously have no clue as to the subject you are writing about. It's small wonder so many people have abandoned legacy media.— Ecklebob Chiselfritz (@RotNScoundrel) May 7, 2017
He said, “Facts.”
@matthewjdowd @Caper29b @island_girl421 @HKP2012 Adding facts to end of a statement of opinion doesn't make it a fact.— Gary Carlo (@GaryACarlo) May 7, 2017
@matthewjdowd @Caper29b @island_girl421 @HKP2012 Facts aren't so just because YOU say so. This is a damn lie. You don't know how veterans feel about the VA at all with this lie.— Mrs_Pinky85 (@mrs_pinky85) May 7, 2017
@matthewjdowd @Caper29b @island_girl421 @HKP2012 You truly can't be serious. They are doing two things: Getting vets addicted to opioids and sticking them on waiting lists till they die.— Balance (@Balance_In_Life) May 7, 2017
@matthewjdowd @Caper29b @island_girl421 @HKP2012 So what you're trying to tell us is that you don't actually know any vets or old people.— Tonya Vlasik (@lawgirl) May 7, 2017
@matthewjdowd @Caper29b @island_girl421 @HKP2012 You are out of your mind. Have you ever met a veteran?— Diff (@Chateau_Diff) May 7, 2017
@matthewjdowd @Caper29b @island_girl421 @HKP2012 You can't be serious. Have you ever even spoken to a veteran?— The Beard (@TuffAdams) May 7, 2017
@matthewjdowd @Caper29b @island_girl421 @HKP2012 I have VA coverage. I support the complete elimination of the VA. It's a terrible system. Private sector coverage is far better.— Wade Miller (@J_Wade_Miller) May 7, 2017
@matthewjdowd @Caper29b @island_girl421 @HKP2012 Okay, I'm not happier with the V.A. at all.
Sometimes takes FOREVER to get an appointment.
Speak for yourself, dude.— Karen Sacandy (@KSacandy) May 7, 2017
@matthewjdowd @Caper29b @island_girl421 @HKP2012 Happier my ass. I wait 13 months for deviated septum surgery from the VA. Think it would have been that long in the pvt system?— Louie's Dad (@VRKyle) May 7, 2017
@matthewjdowd @Caper29b @island_girl421 @HKP2012 It took a year after leaving service to get initial screening. A YEAR. 6 mos to be screened to wrong clinic and 6 more to get right one.— The Irreverent (@gunboss68) May 7, 2017
@matthewjdowd @Caper29b @island_girl421 @HKP2012 Every vet I know that uses the VA loathes it.— Mike Rana (@michaelranaii) May 7, 2017
