		<description><![CDATA[The U.S. already has a socialized medical system -- the Veterans Health Administration (VA) -- and it outperformed a national sample of other health care systems on some 300 measures of quality health care. RAND Corp. reported "VA patients were more likely to receive recommended care than patients in the national sample," and with a better outcome.  In fact, the VA outperformed the national sample in all but one category of patient care delivery. VA patients received consistently better care across the board, including screening, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up. For preventive care, the difference was greater: VA patients received about 65 percent of recommended care, while patients in the national sample received 20 percent less.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=precisthis.wordpress.com&amp;blog=7965023&amp;post=321&amp;subd=precisthis&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
