Krugman again [on Veterans health care]

Krugman again comments on Vererans health care:

Paul Krugman in 2011 wrote of the VAâ€s “huge success story”:

Multiple surveys have found the VHA providing better care than most Americans receive, even as the agency has held cost increases well below those facing Medicare and private insurers…the VHA is an integrated system, which provides health care as well as paying for it. So itâ€s free from the perverse incentives created when doctors and hospitals profit from expensive tests and procedures, whether or not those procedures actually make medical sense.

Krugman added, “Yes, this is ‘socialized medicineâ€â€¦But it works, and suggests what it will take to solve the troubles of US health care more broadly.”
