Thanks for the article, very interesting. The inequity is obvious, and needs to be addressed.

However, without going into detail, I just had my annual physical yesterday with the V.A., and I believe that the best care that the government offers is the free care to our veterans.

I have found over the years, that the V.A. has tremendously dedicated doctors and staff, who truly care about the veterans. Particularly with the older WWII vets, that are elderly and ill, and are the largest group seeking care now.

Having been a Navy Corpsman, I watch everything, and the dedication and respect you see in eyes of the staff, is a wonder to behold.

Not everything about our government's services are broken.
