Reply #21: Health Care and Benefits, PLEASE

[Old Vet]

Iam receiving chemo from the VA now (2 more months), And I had to fight them every step of the way to cover this disease I contracted 35 yrs ago. I know, Iam at my local VA once a week. Iam waiting with guys half my age all fucked up physically and mostly mentally screwed, WAITING for a doctor. Getting seen by a VA doctor is like getting screened to see the president,They are picky,Nothing is for sure.They are also closing VA hospitals all over the country, Its not pretty. Cant tell you how hard it is to look these KIDS in the eyes returning from war, Scarred,Limping,Confused. Man it hurts, Bad!
