...from libertarian congresscritters. I don't know why this publication started hitting my feed, but it did. It's very military-centric.

The realm of veterans health care policymaking has, for a decade, been dominated by a dangerous libertarian fallacy, namely that greater personal choice and less government involvement are unequivocally advantageous. Allowing more options, lawmakers and advocates contend, benefits every veteran. It's even framed as a patriotic 'defense of freedom.'

...

Should the private sector obtain unfettered upstream dollars, too little will be left downstream, leading to the closure of VA programs and units. This will imperil the 2.7 million men and women who rely exclusively on the VA for all of their health care needs and the 1.6 million who use it for most of their care.

Yeah, some things are better handled by the government. Like prisons. The military. Public education. No dollars should be going out for private entities in any of these fields.
