It's interesting to me that you're lumping together Medicare and the VA. Because while I here almost nothing but positive things about Medicare, I hear lots of stories of people not getting the care they need from the VA (and "slipping through the cracks"). Granted, those seem to be mostly older anecdotes, have things changed in the past decade or so?
Objectively untrue by any serious metric you'd like to go for, and in particular government-run health insurance programs (Medicare chief among them, but also the VA) are notably well-run and have low incidence of fraud while maintaining remarkably low overhead.
