"Just a glimpse of socialized medicine folks."

It's just a glimpse of how the VA makes money.
They pick the clinic and force you to pay.
At least in the private sector you can pick where yu want to go.
I wonder what the VA commission is on these forced visits?

I was a key element in exposing VA corruption at the Long Beach (CA) hospital in the late 70's.
They just messed with the wrong vet this time!

For now, you can pick you place in the private sector, but if we get a natn'l health plan we will be told where we have to get treatment and waiting lists will be long. Canada is prime example. I'm sorry they did this to you Tonkin. I say fight it. Maybe you can tell us where we should send our e-mails so we can bombard them.
