Hi Misty,

I just had a thought. Can you imagine a BIG crate loaded with Patriotic red white and blue burka's being opened by the evil horrible killer terrorists and that is the only clothes they have........they HAVE TO WEAR..........red white and blue or go naked......naked their killer human bombs would show up.........they will stand out in the Patriotic colors and then our wonderful troops can KILL them dead. yep.

ATTN: VETS
DO NOT TRUST THE VA

This past Feb the local VA Clinic told me they could not treat me for a serious eye infection because I was not in the local system. They made me go 90 miles (one way) to the nearest regional VA center. The regional center could not treat me and sent me (after making an appointment for me) to a local private eye clinic. This required a 2nd follow up visit, which the VA authorized. The VA told me at the time as long as they (the VA) authorized the visits they (the VA) would pay the eye clinic.
NOTE It took the VA almost 3 weeks from the 1st time I called them to actually get me to an eye clinic that could treat me.
NOTE2 At the time of my enlistment I was guaranteed medical care if I ever needed it.
NOTE3 In Feb I was told the only way to get into the local system was to get a physical at the local center and was advised the waiting period is just about one year.

TODAY I received a bill for the full cost of the eye clinic exams and treatment with a note that said the VA would not pay and I had to pay the bill.
So what the VA did was to force me to go to a clinic they picked and then stuck me with the bill.

I guess someone decided that since my Las Vegas based personal business (and only source of income) is all but destroyed by the events of 9/11 and the recent terrorist threat to Las Vegas on 7/4 that this would be an excellent time to stick me with a bill that the government was supposed to pay.

Now if I was an illegal alien or owned a large corporation the government would help me.

But I'm just a vet and a small business owner so the government has no help for me.
