FACT, whether you like it or not, the USA has had a system of of universal healthcare for GENERATIONS !!!!! No, you say?? What the hell is the VETERANS HEALTH CARE SYSTEM??? I am a veteran, I am in two cancer research programs in the V.A. system, so as to find ways to help the future victims.( Some men grow cotton, some corn, some cattle, me? I grow tumors!) Does anyone know the average cost, per visit/ per condition/ per treatment/per Vet, and what are the costs for the same situations in the public sector ?? I am requesting responces from ACTUAL MILITARY SERVICE, CURRENT and VETERANS and YOU, THE Y/A FOLKS : HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE CARE PROVIDED, at the local Clinics and the V.A. Hospitals?? Comparing the V.A. system to the care in the private sectors??
Thanks for the inputs. I AM A VET (69), and have been in the system for about 9 years now. My question was not to cast aspursions upon OUR system, but to gather your inputs, so to be able to better answer the quieres from the private sector/s, about the overall care provided. I have been very pleased with the hospitals in both Dallas and Houston. ( By the way, we are addressing tumors #7 & #8, as I type this out, using two (2) fingers at a time) !!!
Keep the answers coming, I will wait awhile, before making a very diffacult choise, about the best answer !!! THANKS, Uncle Wil a.k.a. Lonnal W.
