They will probably tell you are a category 6 or 7 priority, meaning you are in line to get medical treatment right behind dogs and cats.
That is "not" true....if you do not have insurance and are below a certain income level, all the measures of any VA facility are at your disposal. And the guidelines are "very" fair, as you can be covered up to 50 K if you have a family. This stopped people that have "private" insurance and no service connected disability from allowing the "mean old private" insurance companies from sticking it to the taxpayer and having the Government pay for services that they(the private insurance carriers) are being paid to provide....once again. I thought that you liberals hated the Medical Professionals that take advantage of price fixing...what's up? Do you want it both ways? VA Form 10-10EZ is easy to fill out and apply for NSC benefits...if you are in need of this care simply go to U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and prompt VA medical coverage. BD
