I'll tell you what I think about GOVT HEALTHCARE based upon a personal story in my family. My brother, who had medicare and decent insurance switched over to the VA cause he could get his prescriptions cheaper (originally free). Well, he went EVERY 3 MONTHS bloodworks, physical etc. then one day he felt really bad and went and they said you have CANCER, he died two weeks later with it throughout his body. TWO WEEKS now if you think he didnt have that for a long time and it was UNDIAGNOSED then I have some swampland to sell you. My wife bugs me to go the VA for same reason, Prescriptions, and I said, NO WAY. I want NOTHING to do with GOVERNMENT CARE. Its fine if you break a bone but DONT expect it to save your life by diagnosing a disease early. jdn
