"risked our necks for VA promises" well, first of all thank you for your service to your country however... risking your neck for VA promises pretty much says it all, doesn't it.... my dad and FIL and several uncles were WWII vets.... and i can assure you none risked their necks for "VA benefits"... they risked their lives for something much more important than that something tells me that vets that "risk their necks" for bennies will NEVER be satisfied with what they get... but to the point of the redundancy of the VA health care system... my dad dutifully went to the nearest VA facility when he was diagnosed with cancer and received atrocious care....that was like 30 years ago... and it looks like it is still going on today... vawatchdog.org considering the number of class A hospitals there are in st. louis, it's hard to imagine why anyone would want to perpetuate the type of substandard care that our vets receive in 'government issue' hospitals (and yes i realize not all are as bad as cochran) my 'prescription' for our vets is a 'free for life' medical 'credit card' that can be used at any hospital of their choosing... but we know the real reason why the VA hospitals aren't shuttered....in favor of better equipped and staffed private hospitals....it's all about patronage jobs....killing ANY outdated and needless government program is near impossible and as to this... It is a bum deal and is only getting worse by the day. frankly, if you are looking for a 'deal'...... military service isn't the place for you very sorry you didn't get the 'deal' you thought you bargained for....but at least you are here to talk about it my dad got horrible care at cochran, yet he was GRATEFUL to get it....then again, he didn't enlist for promised medical care, his reasons were much more noble than that
