This thread is mostly about the leadership and bureaucracy in the VA, not the good people that provide medical services. I'm glad you generally get good service but I can tell you from my older brothers experience it is not like that at the Hampton, Va facility. He too is a Vietnam vet and is a quad that lives at the facility. Lots of delays getting procedures he needs and yes, dental is the worst. Food is awful and I bring him a double cheeseburger and large milk shake every time I visit (he jokes that the only thing on him that works perfectly is his sense of taste.......thank God for anti-depressants). But overall the people there do their best to care for too many people with too few resources. The VA is just another example of why govt can't do anything well and why I am all for limited govt and a voucher system that pays for vets care.
