John,

It's time to address the confusion around healthcare.

I served in the Marines for 18 years. Now that I have retired, I have life-long benefits that give me access to the healthcare my family and I will need for the rest of our lives. Every month, this model has allowed us to reinvest our incomes on the things that matter, and allows us to be happier, healthier, and more productive members of our society.

Why do only active military and veterans have access to this system? It works for veterans and saves tax payers money. Veterans pay into the system every month the same way citizens would pay into single payer Medicare for all system. Healthcare is a human right and no one should go without it in the richest nation on earth.

It's not without its problems here and there, but I have received excellent care in the Veterans Administration that I never could have received anywhere else. During recovery from my combat injuries, both mental and physical, we received VA caregiver assistance. This program pioneered by Michelle Obama, gave my family the financial stability I needed while I underwent surgeries and recovery, something I never could have afforded on a private plan of my own.

Thanks to the health care provided to me by the VA, my family does not have to live under the constant fear that a catastrophic injury or accident will devastate our finances. Why can't we all live like this?

Single-payer healthcare is frequently lambasted as socialist, communist, and dangerous. The only thing single payer healthcare threatens is CEO pay and pharmaceutical shareholder profits.

Neither Veterans Administration healthcare nor the implementation of a National Single Payer system will turn us into Venezuela.

With the highest medical costs and debt in the world (see graph above), we could learn a thing or two from the VA.

Neither the U.S. Military, the Veterans Administration, nor the funding mechanisms they use are socialist.

Not by a long shot.

I dream of a day when Americans no longer fear financial ruin from medical bills, where people don’t have to ration their insulin, and where one unfortunate injury or accident doesn’t end in anyone’s home foreclosure.

Can I count on you to help me make this dream a reality? ([link removed])

Are the U.S. military or Veterans Administration socialist for providing healthcare? Obviously not.

Let’s give all Americans the care they deserve.
