  4. Send the medical bills lady to the VA and she'll figure out why so many veterans are offing themselves.

  5. 3:59, most veterans who commit suicide are not under VA care. It's not the VA which is driving veterans to self destruct at a higher rate than non-vets.

    The vets I know who have received medical care at the local VA center have only good things to say about their experiences.

    3:59, veterans are "offing themselves" because we consider anxiety, depression & PTSD to be "mental illnesses", & therefore there is a stigma against seeking treatment. At its core most people consider mental illness to be a character defect & asking for help as unmanly.

    In other words, our veterans are suffering, along with everyone else, because we insist upon being an ignorant, redneck country.

    1. WTF, Funky?! "Rednecks" (VERY MANY OF WHICH ARE HONORABLE VETERANS OF ALL RACES) toil away their best years at the factories, the farms, the firehouses, the families' firms, and everyf*ckin' workplace throughout this Great America. They're getting less employment "benefits" while the freeloaders and refugees can get all manner of help handed to them so easily. DACAs, deadbeat moms & dads, druggies, drunks, and too many other doofuses are jacking resources of lower cost counseling and medical care away from "rednecks". Yes, more should be done to de-stigmatize admission of difficulties with mental health. And, much more rapid access to better quality at affordable cost care of every kind must be provided to "rednecks and veterans", ahead of, or even instead of, non-citizens,etc., wherever resources are more limited.

  8. The VA is not paying out to hospitals they send the Vets out to for treatment. Vets are getting calls from collections agency's asking Vet to call the VA and ask them to pay up. Then the VA actually provides office space for the NGO who sets up the appointments inside the VA Hospital. How is this cheaper? It's not, but it's deregulation.

  9. 4:53 You must only know a few Vets because the majority of vets I talk to on a daily basis hate that shit hole. Of course the tax payers don't get it. They drive by and see three towers and think what a nice big VA hospital. What they don't get is that the bureaucrats have turned every hospital room, except a handful, into office space and the majority of needed surgeries are farmed out after being stalled for months by the VA bureaucrats and the, so called, surgery department. Patient medical notes are mostly faked and/or filled with fiction, practitioners credentials and touted qualifications often lack verification and all too often the VA creates incredible roadblocks to care that do not exist in the civilian sector. Given that 60 percent of veterans refuse to trust the VA with their medical care and decide pay out of pocket for medical coverage andinsurance, the idea that the VA provides satisfactory care, or that vets really appreciate the VA, is laughable.
