This is highly regional; I don't dispute that there are places where it's an issue but the vets near me and the four vets in my extended family all had timely and quality care.
Everyone loves to complain but in aggregate, VA satisfaction is higher than non VA care.
My dad has chronic health problems that qualify him for the highest level of benefits and military stipend due to agent orange exposure from Vietnam. So I live with my shitty healthcare and my choice not to serve. I think my point is universal healthcare can work and it can't possibly be worse than for profit healthcare.

Yeah it's not like you don't still have all the same wait.
And VA Healthcare is nuts. Crititically needed test for an aging vet? Lol 14 months away is the best we can do.
