Re: A fatal wait: Veterans languish and die on a VA hospital's secret list
Why re-invent the wheel? Why try and build another hospital system and duplicate over head costs?
If all the chest thumping civilians want to do more than rant about Congress or the 'government' REALLY want say thank you to those who went while they had 'better' things to do...
Why not a voucher system for vets? Why not use the health care system we have instead of trying to expand the VA? Why not let the VA concentrate on the wounded, service connected disability, and those who can't get insurance on their own.
Most of us have made a good life after service, why give that all up in order to get some of our Veteran Benefits...
Just between us vets... I don't hold out much hope that the never served ranters are going to do more than vent their collective spleens, demand someone gets frog marched and shot...
But I have grown tired of Vet benefits being a last resort rather than a thank you package... eace
I can't. I make too much money and have insurance. I often wonder if that too is not a mistake. Why not take us all and the money and build better facilities with the income.
