"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh

Better late than never, right?
Well, actually, no: “Vet Finally Gets VA Doctor’s Appointment – 2 Years After He Died”.
Deborah.... The VA did good by my parents and me, but I noticed changes over the years. I have numerous horror stories, especially from my extended stay due to kidney problems in 2008/09. I fired a doctor, which was a complete shock to. His stammering remains savory.
One of the problems is they are understaffed for the volume of vets. Another problem is the prevalent attitude that the vets are getting "free" healthcare, so they should be happy for what they get when. FYI It's not free. We earned it. (Don't get me started on Congress breaking contracts by making some pay.)
Government-run health care straight up.
