Poll: Veterans reject Koch brother’s push to privatize VA health care
A poll released just before Veterans Day shows veterans don’t support the push by Concerned Veterans for America, a Koch brothers front group, to private the VA health care.
CVA is pressing the Republican candidates for president to take up its call to replace the VA health care system with a voucher system.
The poll released on Nov. 10 and published in the Military Times shows two-thirds of veterans surveyed oppose a voucher system.
The poll also showed that 57 percent of veterans surveyed would be less likely to support a candidate who backed “privatizing the VA health care system.”
The poll was conducted for Vet Voice Foundation by Lake Research Partners and Chesapeake Beach Consulting, with a goal of having bipartisan results.
The survey found a majority of veterans opposed to privatization, regardless of party, age, or branch of military.
