To: the long march

For the VA. I have viisted my VA several times and had surgery several times and in all times I’ve told them I did not have a living will and did not want to make one and that was the end. however, if the veteran qualifies for treatment, why would he/she consider the cost of the treatment on his family (He paid for the treatment with his service).

A patient may have otehr concerns, but medical treatment should not be unless Obama plans to make the veterans go on his public option.

Look NOWHERE did I say I wanted the lunatic changes to health care being advocated by congress. All I said was that this booklet was NOT a directive it is a pamphlet designed to get families and people in the VA system to discuss and think about what they want.

I do not want the government involved in health care. And frankly as good as some of the care at the VA is it is still driven by “the numbers” that the bean counters come up with. It is not patient driven. That said I believe our vets deserve any health care they want -— yes they have already paid for it
