Government Healthcare: A Preview?

From the Tacoma News-Tribune:  Hours being cut at American Lake VA center
Some 40,000 area veterans are being told this week about a cutback in hours at the urgent care clinic at the Veterans Administration medical center at American Lake.
A letter is going out to veterans getting services at the center, advising them of the reduced hours beginning Feb. 1.
The urgent care clinic, which is now open 24/7, no longer will be open weekends, evenings or holidays, according to the Veterans Administration Puget Sound Health Care System.
'Cuz, hey, they're only veterans, what possible need could they have for emergency care?
