[QUOTE=Twitch]That's why a lot of us say we'd rather die than go to a VA facility for anything. QUOTE]

Well, the VA has been my only source for medical care for the last 30 years.... It's what you do when no one will sell you health insurance for anything less then a grand a month (that quote was about 20 years ago, probably a bit higher now!!).... I've had issues with certain doctors there, but I've heard a lot of horror stories about people using private facilities, too.... Guess if it wasn't for the VA I would either be dead or living in a cardboard box under an overpass somewhere.... You're fortunate you can afford private insurance and private care. Many of us don't have that option....
