Medicare for all would go a long way to fix it. I know alot of vets who prefer the idea of being able to go to a place that has veteran-centric care but it's just not working.

Certain regions are better than others. Florida's VA system is actually amazing if you can afford to live there. Everywhere else in the south is a horror show.

We have. Twice. Called the white house complaint line. Got a lawyer. Went to an entirely different region for care. The system is fundamentally broken because it's designed that way. They want dead vets because they don't want to pay for the damage they caused. A successful VA healthcare system, much like a successful medicare system, is an advertisement for socialism and we can't have that.

My fiancee has had 5 different mental health providers this year through the VA. He waited months for his most recent telehealth appointment only to find out it was with a nurse practioner. No hate to NPs, but they're not the kind of authority a person with PTSD and multiple TBIs need. There is no actual care coming from the VA and getting community care is impossible for us. They do this on purpose to cut the amount of veterans they have to pay for and no one will ever convince me otherwise.

Well which is it? Did the masks not work or did they ruin our immunity? It can't be both.
