Actually I think this is a group that is affiliated with the existing VA.
While not stating it out right Trumps plan for reforming veterans care would, effectively, if I am reading it right, merge the VA health services into medicade/medicare. Think about it, if you are a veteran are you going to go to a doctor 150 miles a way in vet hospital or are you going to see one closer to home? If veterans can do that and use hospitals that accept medicare/medicade then who needs a veterans’ hospital? Trump’s plan would save millions of dollars and improve service but would put a lot of bureaucrats out of work and slash the size of government.
It would also mean that advocacy groups like the one in the article would be out of work
if you are a veteran are you going to go to a doctor 150 miles a way in vet hospital or are you going to see one closer to home?

We used to go to a hospital close to home until Obama
now we have to travel 180 miles instead of 20...
Obama wont let us go locally...
Many veterans in our area cant get to the VA hospital for tests..

Precisely, and from what I’ve been reading in the past, VA clinics leave a lot to be desired in many cases, with veterans actually dying waiting to be seen- one would think immediate access to some of the best doctors I n the country would be something the veterans would jump at-
But apparently not-
Also, I haven’t seen any other candidate even mention veterans yet (although now that trump has doen so- they will all jump on the bandwagon)
“Trump’s plan would save millions of dollars and improve service but would put a lot of bureaucrats out of work and slash the size of government.”
And there is the crux of the matter. As if we need any more examples of failure, incompetence, manifest through veterans dying before their time, we still have folks that will fight to keep the same ol’ VA.
Get rid of it. Let veterans live.
You may be thinking of DAV (Disabled American Veterans) they usually have office right in VA facilities along with the VFW and American Legion.
CVA sounds awfully close to DAV to the uninitiated. The DAV does good work. I’ve never heard of CVA until tonight.
