A Freeper was trying to tell me that these changes aren’t needed because he is happy with his experience with VA.
I tried to tell him a friend of mine has to drive about 250 miles each way to get treatment for cancer.
The “40 miles” is measured as the crow flies. Or was until Congress got after VA. The bureaucrats do NOT want vets to get non-VA care. Nor do government unions. They’ve both fought any attempts to do so for years now.
