VA Socialized Medicine At Its Best
Nothing but negative news coming out from VA cops falsifying records, assaults, killing vets to supervisors that are convicted murders. Socialized medicine at its best hiring right out of the penitentiary. Veterans are told to seek mental health, VA approves it than refuses all the bills. Veterans in crisis become more stressed out wont seek mental health anymore and end there lives. VA Fortwayne destroying lives and fueling the opioid epidemic. Every Dr that failed to follow the required standards for opiods and the chief of staff at the Fortwayne VA need removed. The government that says they care are the ones causing this epidemic. 300,000 veterans deaths from a incompetent agency. This agency buries it mistakes as there no accountability as lives are ruined. We have invaded other countries for much less when are we going to invade the VA? This government has failed to hold any one accountable but go after whistle blowers, veterans and the disabled.
whole system needs to collapse and start over
I am fortunate that I am retired military and have TriCare for Life. I am in the VA system but refuse to use them for any major medical issues.
I'm a dependant spouse (Mr Giggles in retired Air Force) and I am currently not happy with Tricare at the moment. I can't get the medication I need because Tricare doesn't want to pay for it. It cost me 30 dollars the other night for a month's supply. That's all. I will continue to pay for it out of my pocket because the bastards were giving me a different med that doesn't work and charging me 7 bucks a month for it.
I am truly sorry to hear that. I on the other hand have never had a problem obtaining my medications through Tricare, thus I have no reason to be dissatisfied. When my late wife passed away in December of 2016, between Medicare and Tricare, all the hospitalization and ICU costs for two weeks were completely covered with zero out of pocket expense to me.
I am writing this while laying in my bed at a VA run rehabilitation center in Vancouver Washington where I have been for the past month and a half. I have been getting excellent care from the VA for 4 years. I have been completely satisfied
I hope you have a full recovery.
Thanks, I am almost back. I broke my hip and wrist in a fall last May and I am now just beginning to walk on it again
"The VA" sucks!
I know some VA hospitals are better than others, and people still get good doctors and good service, etc., but overall, the VA is horrible, and our Vets deserve so much better.
