The VA isn't a great thing to compare medicare-for-all to. The VA's entire customer base has afflictions you just don't see in the general public.

I'd compare M4A to Medicare/Medicaid, if you look at patient surveys they are much happier in general than people who have to deal with insurance companies.

We really should fix the VA though too.

Yes. I do not know why Democrats block bills to fix the VA.

Tried to find what you are talking about. Turned up a lot of political meme's basically saying vote for Trump, because democrats tried blocking the VA Mission Act. Looked up the actual vote counts and it passed successfully with strong bipartisan support in both the house and senate [1]. Are you referring to something else?

If you're referring to Veteran's Choice, while Trump repeatedly and falsely claims to have created it, it was passed into law and signed by Obama in 2014.
