I had cancer 22 years ago...and no health insurance. The VA treated me...chemo and radiation. I'm still alive. I been treated for other things at the VA also.
Yeah...there are lazy people there...BUT THERE ARE LAZY PEOPLE AT EVERY HOSPITAL.
EVERY!
And there are dedicated nurses and doctors at the VA also.
Fact is, most VA doctors do not have you coming back time after time for no reason...as some non-VA doctors do. And many of the non-VA doctors do it only because it produces revenue...not because it is necessary.
So...I stand by my comment.
You are full of shit on what you said.
Anybody who is attacking the VA system as out of control or poor are idiots. They rate right up at the top. I have been going since Iraq I, and I have no grief with VA.

No, the Pentagon has not spent $21 Trillion they can't account for.
The military made adjustments to its budgetary reporting system that came to that amount.
https://media.defense.gov/2016/Jul/2...G-2016-113.pdf
Read page 5.
They made adjustments to journal vouchers. This is nothing more than an double entry accounting trick needed when the books don't balance because you haven't entered everything correctly.
They are guilty of sloppy bookkeeping but not of spending $21 Trillion they can't account for. Errors are sure to happen in a system that large with multiple people entering data.
Hint: Never rely on any news source if you can find the actual documents.
"We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid."
"Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain - and most fools do."
So you never worked side by side with them as an independant contractor doing literally three times at minimum the work they do . Got it.
I agree there are a small minority of them that are dedicated but by and large they're there to get a paycheck . The overwhelming majority, from my experience is that they also have a philosophy that the less they do the less chance of making a mistake, therefore the goal is to do as little as possible without getting in trouble. Problem is, about the only way for them to get in trouble is commit murder.
Then you have physicians that have the title of 'social director' who spend half their time passing out birthday cards for staff to sign when they're not seeing their 4 patients/day.
I won't even go into the 'infection control officer'. It gets worse.

I have had VA and private insurance forever. Of course one can, if the private business offers you insurance. You just let your VA know about it.
I am seeing a lot of stupidity above about VA. It has done me a good job for 27 years in many hospitals and outpatient clinics.
Those who are knocking are guilty of way too much on a double standard of evidence and hypothetical facts to make a viable theory.
