Well, you will be surprised to find out that
Bush eliminated Veterans Medical Benefits in 2003, unless you were wounded or disabled in the miltary or had a prior medical treatment history with the VA.
If this is your first appointment, you will not be eligible for treatment.
They will probably tell you are a category 8 priority. But they are not accepting any more Category 8 Veterans for treatment since 2003.[/quote]
Well folks, I had my first appointment with the VA yesterday and while Toxic may not be a lying sack of shit he is certainly misinformed. I must say it was a very satisfying experience. Everyone was far more respectful and curteous than in the offices of my private doctor. I actually spent over an hour with the doctor himself (more than I have spent with my private doctor in total over the last two years. I was given (at no charge - free) a blood pressure monitor, I was set up to receive my medications for a charge of $8.00 per perscription (vs the $50.00 co pay with my insurance) and I was rescheduled for a follow up visit in two weeks.
So, Toxic, I don't know where you got your information but you are a lying sack of
!!
