I have nothing to do with the VA. I get to hear all the belly aching about the VA every week at our veteran’s coffee meetup.
Fair enough. But for those of us who are disabled vets, the VA is a lifeline, and the treatment they offer is important to us.
The VA has been good to me. I have a $100,000 pacemaker and $9,000 hearing aids for which I paid zero. I do pay copays for my meds.
The biggest problem I have with the VA is if I'd like to get in to see my Primary Care Physician for a cold/flu. If I called today, 5/9/26, they might offer me an appointment on maybe 7/8/26 with the alternative to go to the emergency room.
