To claim that vets have better and faster care is ignoring the recent massive scandal in which vets have died waiting for care.
The ACA is a dumpster fire. If not being challenged in court, it's being criticized by even vulnerable Democrats now.
Not much to cheer about when you sift through to see what he's actually done, especially when compared to the scandals and problems he's created by ignoring the law. Like this border crisis created by him declaring in the Rose Garden that dreamers wouldn't be deported.

The CHiP law was expanded under Obama.
President Obama did addititional bail-outs and stymulus packages, in the face of mounting criticism, and it turns out, it was the right thing to do at the time.
Specifically, the GM bail-out was all Obama, and the government made money off of that deal.
I didn't mention the cash-for-clunkers plan, that also helped PEOPLE.
Faster care, more efiicient care, and even the turn around times on claims for disability have all become better due to Obama and Shinseki working together to fix the issues. Yes, what has come to light is abominable, but a few years ago, things were even messier and slower.
The ACA is a good thing and has helped so many PEOPLE.
You can't realistically blame President Obama for adults in Central Americans willing to let their children die in an attempt to get to America-- but if you want to blame Obama for the world catching on fire, you can find a reason to do so.
