I tried. I tried to find evidence which, on balance, would support some sort of proclamation that the provision of care by the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) is fundamentally broken and the most viable alternative is to further expand the privatization of health care provided to our nation’s veterans. Many veterans already receive care outside of the VHA (using Medicare providers and TRI-CARE), and researchers have shown that such private-sector approaches can address shortcomings with VHA service delivery processes, such as patient scheduling and appointment wait times (Duhaney, 2020; Wilmoth, London, & Landes, 2020). Private-sector efforts also can achieve comparable patient outcomes when accounting for variations across the different kinds of patients and health care systems. Still, what I learned from the readings included in our first issue for 2020 is that the VHA is not broken at all and, in fact, clearly stands apart from private-sector approaches in two distinct ways.
