MITT ROMNEY vs MIKE KENNEDY In Utah U.S. Senate Primary Debate

Published | Video Starts at 47:33

If it's proximate for you, that's wonderful. But If you want to go to another primary care physician or you want to go to tertiary care or hospital in your area or a mental health professional in your area, you have a voucher to take to that particular individual as well. You don't have to stay within the VA system unless you want to stay within within the VA system. (47:33–47:46)
