It could make vets nervous but by issuing guaranteed medical payment cards in the freer public market could likely give vets the care they deserve.
I’ve been getting my Medical Care through the VA for 10 years. It was great until last year. If you had an appointment at 10:00, you were in at 10:00 or 5 minutes before. But, In the past year and a half, my OPC (Out Patient Clinic) has gone to hell in a hand basket. I had 4 new Primary Care Physicians assigned to me in 6 months. Now, at the hospital in Houston, the care is still AWESOME! I’ve had two arteriograms; one at Private Hospital, and one at VA 7 years later. VA made the Private Hospital look like MASH.
