They certainly aren't going to take it out of their profits - that's unAmerican!
Hey, though, that's capitalism for ya - can't understand how this can be a problem for all the hard-core libertarians and conservatives here. Why should the vets get socialized medicine over anyone else - clearly private medicine is more efficient and the soldiers are going to be better off by some inexplicable process of the market. And if not, what are the soldiers gonna do - sign up for some other army?
