I am literally agog at your post. For lack of a better approach, lets start at the end and work backwards..

"as inefficiently as VA health care". Where you getting your propaganda? The rest of the nation should be so lucky as to have access to a system as good as VA health care. As someone who interacts regularly with the VA medical system but doesnt have personal access... I'd literally give my left testicle to have access to that good of health care (as compared to my current ACA coverage, my childhood private coverage, or any of the other programs I regularly help others interact with). Worth mentioning its at a lower cost per patient for a group of patients with more needs than most, with a better user rating than the others. It ain't perfect, but its head and shoulders over the rest of the US system (outside of TV dramas and Shock TV expose's, that is).

Moving up.. "what is working".. the problem that you seem to be missing is that it is NOT working for most. IT costs us a lot, but over and over people who need care dont get it, cant afford it, even with upgrade of the ACA.

And further up "select groups"... Which select groups should we help, and which aren't worthy of our assistance? And how do you sell that to all the people you propose to abandon on the wayside?
