Not all doctors take Medicade patients, and VA doctors work for the government, usually associated with the military itself. If you put everyone on government controlled insurance, you'll more than likely see a great decrease in doctors (as they would not be able to make enough money to justify the expense of becoming a doctor) or they would shut their doors to all but the ones who have better insurance or pay in cash (i.e. the wealthy) causing an even greater load on the doctors who actually participate and give them less time with each patient.
