  • VA in central alabama sucks

  • yeah. I looked back at the comments and it appears I am getting a lot of thumbs down.

    I wish people would wake the hell up. BUT IT IS TO LATE.......I hate to say it but America is getting what she deserves. Until the citizens stand up we will be sinking like a ship and getting tired of bailing out the water.

    Have a Merry Christmas!

  • I agree, and have never met anyone happy with VA doctors or the system. These people probably don't know about lackluster VA and the RFID chips will definitely fuck everyone. They are speaking mandatory this and that under their breath

  • Are they doing this with medicare?

  • They may be overworked and understaffed, but why don't the staff go work in Community or Non-profit? I would suggest because it is even worse there then at the VA. Employment has free choice unlike health insurance at this point.

    The eligibility requirements are because so many want to get into the system, not out. They should be fixed, but it is a sign the system is working Too Well, relatively speaking.

  • VA SUCKS ASS!

  • They never asked me to take the survey. I am under the VA healthcare. I'll tell them how it works! It's not that great. They are overworked and understaffed.

    When you register or change locations they ask you, how much is your income, stocks, real estate and dependants. Most of us veterans lie or figure its not there business. We are governed by eligibilty requirements.

  • You can find all reasons not to accept healthcare. The governemnt can turn it on or off (future RFID), forced immunizations, access to your bank accounts for payments. Higher taxes and we are in a defeceit. CBO says no savings as it would cost more.

    But for security, citzens will render their libertiess, once lost we can not get them back!

  • It works for almost 3% of the country. A lifetime relationship with patient, Health IT allowing ability to look at results, Coordinated care, happier patients that survey happier then Private Insurance customers. VA costs are going DOWN while Private Insurance costs are RISING. Hmm - might need to look at that model, maybe there is something to learn.

  • It's just insane how the repugs and blue mutt democrats are spewing horror stories about "government run healthcare", "socialism", "Canadian style health care" that makes you wait and wait and wait.

    Such a big crock of bull shit, and they KNOW IT!!
