Hey Blooper, don't know where you get your information...... First of all, I have very extensive medical training and served in the military for 20 years and saw combat in 2 wars..... I am 100% disabled and get my medical care from the V.A. and civilian hospitals...... There are good and bad doctors everywhere......
I have about 20 different medical ailments...... It took me 4 years to get into the system due to their backlog of patients.....
When I did get my claim approved, I got a check for 50,000 dollars..... That is not chump change...... I have been receiving treatment since 2003..... Out of all that time, I have had 1 doctor that I thought was substandard out of the 20 - 30 doctors I usually see.....
I get a complete physical every 6 months...... The recommended is every year...... All my care is free...... I use probably about 1,000 dollars in medications every month..... Free dental, free glasses, everything is free...... I get wonderfull medical care from the V.A.......
They have many false claims and fraud they have to weed out..... Most people think all veterans are entitled to V.A. care..... Not true..... Vets with a disability rating of over 50% are entitled to care...... Most V.A.'s try to give care to all vets regardless of their rating..... Most of the complainers in the system have ratings of less than 50% and are angry they don't get more care......
I and every disabled veteran I know gets very good medical care and excellent U.S. Government Benefits...... I am retired and disabled...... I get retired pay, V.A. 100% disability pay, Social Security, Medicare, Free 4 year college, and many, many other benefits...... I am very well taken care of.....
I really wish you would find out the truth about V.A. care and all the other benefits that disabled vets get..... We are well taken care of and well compensated...... Thank you....
