• Discussion of vast changes in health care politics since 2007
• New insights on how the VA model will shape 21st century health care
• How Bush administration policies undermined the most successful aspects of VA health care
• Updated coverage of federal information technology initiatives in health care, thanks in part to the success of the VA model in that area
