I drove my Neighbor, a severely wounded Viet Nam Vet, to Hines VA Hospital in Maywood, IL. After spending some time there, he told me he would never go back to Hines, no matter how bad he needed treatment.

Obamacare really screwed up the VA.

At first, a lot of Doctors got out of private care and went into the VA. My little VA hospital had three eye Doctors.

Now, the Doctors are leaving the VA and going back to private practice.

I’m told there is only one ?Doctor now at my little VA hospital.

I see Nurse Practitioners.

They are OK, but it’s been a big change and the VA doesn’t like big changes.

The increase in the VA budget goes to hiring more Democrat administrative staff.

The biggest thing President Trump could do to help the VA Disability program is to get rid of The Magic VA Disability Total Percentage Chart.

A 40 % Disability rating “magically!” becomes 3%?

Where else in the world can you get away with math like that?

Let’s have a magical pay chart for the VBA employees.

We run their pay through it, and it magically gets reduced by 90%.

Think they’d put up with that?

Well, they smile when they do that to Veterans.

You still need it in your Records. Hubby has Flight Deck hearing loss, and needs twin hearing aids. You get the aids, batteries, wax traps for Free rest of your life. It does make a difference in what hearing you lost. I wear twin aids for Low Freq loss, caused by a bad ENT. As spouse I don’t qualify for coverage.

He was Blue Water Navy part of Operation Frequent Wind, USS Midway who pulled the AMB and friendly’s out of Nam. Blue Water were just Classified Vietnam Vets, instead of Era Vets, Navy was their support on the sea for Long range fire power and Flights.
