 Please take into account that between 1999 and 2003, the number of patients enrolled in the VHA system increased by 70 percent, yet funding (not adjusted for inflation) increased by only 41 percent.
 
 Find me a private payor that has the same efficiency.

 It is a tiny percentage of what universal health care would be across the United States. Smaller is easier.
Perhaps the biggest thing for me is that any national healthcare program would require limits on what would be covered. I fear those limits would be stricter than I would for my healthcare.
