BY SUZANNE GORDON, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR - 06/16/17 04:40 PM EDT
New proposals announced by the Trump Administration and Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin should dispel any doubt about the administrations intentions to privatize the Veterans Health Administration.
Although President Donald Trump and Shulkin have insisted they are opposed to privatization, the proposal the VA Secretary unveiled to the Senate Committee on Veterans Affairs on June 7 coupled with Trumps Veterans Health Administration budget will end up pushing more veterans to private doctors and hospitals, and ultimately dismantle the VHA system.
In his testimony to the Senate Committee about a replacement for the Veterans Choice Program that sunsets this August, Shulkin said he wants to create the Veterans Coordinated Access Rewarding Experience program.

but they never have money for veterans or active service people. It's sickening. It makes me wonder why anyone goes into the military willingly.
