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.

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.
