Walter Reed is not part of the VA system. It is a military hospital and the two systems are not the same.
The VA is one of the largest government systems and it would be years before privatization could occur. The uproar from us veterans would be trememdous and long, so don't look for it to happen too soon. Currently, the VA is the only government agency that shows a profit and is somewhat self-supporting. This is the result of GWB's appointing a business manager to the cabinet. Though he's gone now, many of his innovations remain.
