The health care that active duty military receive in this country is far better than that of the average American(not to be confused with the oh so pathetic VA which is for non active duty military). I believe the primary reason is that military doctors can not be sued and there is no need for insurance i.e. they took the god damned lawyers and insurance companies out of the equation therefore the doctors don't have to practice 'cya medicine' for fear of a lawsuit where thousand of dollars of tests are ordered on patients who don't really need them due to fear of lawsuit. So why not apply this same system to all Americans? The repukes typical 'socialized medicine' argument won't work with this model bc they would be condemning the US military and we all know that is a big no no amongst the repukes.
