“We cannot privatize and outsource healthcare for America’s veterans,” President Obama recently said at an even for disabled veterans.

The president has incredible gall, for he has let veterans down massively during his term in office. “Privatization” is a classic scare-word among liberals. In this case, it refers to legislation that would allow veterans to see any doctor they like, including those outside the VA system, at VA expense. Which, of course, has nothing to do with privatization and is merely allowing veterans to see a private-sector doctor at public expense.
