A Government Run Hospital, The VA is blowing off people trying to see a doctor.

I'm enrolled in VA, had less than zero problems with them which is commendable given their work load. Hopefully the Teapublicans won't defund them further.

Not all Veterans use the VA for medical care.
The way I see it, the VA Hospitals are there for veterans that have service connected medical issues.
I didn't, so I never went there.
I did use the VA to get a mortgage on my fist house, and had no problems with them in that regard.
I also used my GI bill to take college courses.
Had no problems with the VA there either.
As for your mother she got a substantial portion of her medical bills paid by Medicare. And she got good care at that private hospital because they knew they were going to get paid.
You should be grateful that that Big Government Bureaucracy was there for your mother in her time of need.
But you are obviously not.

Yeah thats the problem when your needs are filled by the government. I would worry more about government default than any single party.We are very close to a collapse in case you did not know.

I used the VA for my first home loan and some classes I took. I've always had insurance from work, so I never used the VA for healthcare. I leave it for veterans who need it.
There is already little choice for most Americans but to use government funded healthcare after 65. Employers who provide no health benefits after retirement have seen to that. So, I fully intend to use it and SS the instant I am eligible. And to anyone who thinks ill of me for that; Fuck you, I don't care what you think. And if I catch you there, in line to fill out your paperwork, I just might use my cane to split your hypocritical skull.

Dave we, yes you and me will not have the opportunity to collect SSI. Unless you go on disability now. They have a choice to do a few things.
One continue the abuse of the program by the politicians and John Q public.
Closely control it, by limiting wast and charging more from new workers to help support it.
Even if they try to do the right thing now it's to late. Baby boomers are going to overwhelm it like we have done to everything else we move though life into.
It's a ponzi scheme and the last one out gets fucked. You and I are the tail end so get your Vaseline ready.

Even more treats of personal violence. They go on and on. This forum is going to hell in a hand basket!
