- This example has nothing to do with what we are talking about. We are

- the government, hospitals owned by the government, etc) we are talking
- about having one insurance provider (logically the state or federal
- government) paying the bills. Quite different from how the VA works.

- For anyone confused by the difference or not understanding how the health

- the article I wrote about a panel discussion that took place last May
- where this was all explained.
