Glad our .gov and the VA focus on important things.
Stupid shit like this makes my blood pressure go up. The VA is some of the worst healthcare on the planet, but let's focus and spend money by removing placards with a quote from Abraham Lincoln. Wow.....Gotta make sure the sensitive bunch and transtesticles don't get their feelings hurt.

The Federal government and every agency needs to be burned to the ground and started over as the founders had envisioned.
Actually, most agencies need to be eliminated. Those who work in those agencies need to get a real job producing something of value. |

Very sad that our veterans are required to use a healthcare system that continues to decline based on patient assessments.
Pretty certain the quality was much better even ten years ago, but like all other things it has gone to shit. Veterans should have choices, as many would fare better outside the system. |

When my Dad broke his neck in 1974 in a car wreck and became a quadriplegic the VA brought in a top neurosurgeon that saved his life and bought him another 30 years of existence and he stayed in the Hampton VA hospital for 7 years; the VA also paid for my education through the old GI Bill - they may suck now but they didn't at that time.

Got wax removal from my ears a few times but for anything serious I'd rather just die at home.

A good friend of mine a Vietnam Combat Veteran has VA coverage and he says it stinks. He only uses it for certain things as he has a good health plan for most things courtesy of the fact he is a retired union Iron worker!

I use it for meds and dental. Meds because there is no co-pay, and dental because they have to farm it out to a civilian dentist. Other than that, it's complete shit unless I get referred outside of the actual VA practice.

These are anecdotal stories. I know there are still some problems at the VA, despite Trump changing the rules to make it easier to fire bad VA employees. |

How he contracted the cancer shouldn't be an issue. One of the benefits I got for joining during that war was permanent VA access. I assume anyone who served during the designated time period also does. How could they not?

I see what you're say but I feel it can be location. I have been using the Albuquerque VA for 30 years. Care for me has been top notch. I do have issues with the administrative side from time to time but no complaints on actual care. |
