Walter Reed: Prelude to Hillary Care?

Has it dawned on any of the Democrats currently pouncing on the problems of the military medical care system that the issue is a miniature version of the chaos which would be created by a national health care system? I don't think so.

Even as the alleged deficiencies at Walter Reed hospital are being investigated, politicians and pundits are weighing in with their opinions and, from what I've heard, the primary complaints are mismanagement and lack of funds. Multiply everything being said and the investigative findings a thousand-fold and the result is -- the chaos of a national health care system.

Congress is holding hearings and legislators have stated that they want answers while fearing that Walter Reed is just the tip of the bigger iceberg of problems with "the nation's ability to care for the thousands of soldiers gravely wounded from wars in Iraq and Afghanistan."

Well, if there are serious failures in the government-administered health care system in the military, which arguably does many things percentage-wise better than other government departments and only services a few million people, how can Clinton, Obama, Pelosi, et al., claim that a national health care system for 300,000,000 will do any better?
