When I go to the V A they charge my Medicare They take out 132 dollars a month out of my SSD to pay for my medicare
The VA is another animal altogether.
When I was in training, there was an enormous variation in the quality of VA care from site to site. Some of our places had '00' doctors, that had to shake off the DTs on the way to work. Hopefully they've fixed those issues. But it seems that VA's are chronically understaffed, and 60% of the staff does 99% of the work while the other 40% slouch.
As a model for government healthcare, the VA is not a great example to point to.
