Which means, what?

Those are standard boilerplate questions to identify the clinically
depressed (which often goes hand-in-hand with advanced care or
end-of-life situations), so that they can be treated. Your own
insurance and the VA probably would use identical questions, if you
were facing advanced care or an end-of-life situation.

Maybe in your haste to get something to misrepresent on page 21 you
missed the first words on page 1:

YOUR life YOUR choices......


Maybe you should read the entire booklet. If you are ready to suck the
exhaust from your vehicle or slit your own wrists when you are done your
reading comprehension should be questions. There isn't a positive
sentence in that booklet. The entire booklet is negatively biased.

If the VA is so proud of the book in its current form why was Sec.
something or other Tammy Duckworth backpedaling and avoiding answering
any questions about he book "Your Life, Your Choices" when she appeared
on the talking head show I saw yesterday morning? She deflected every
question about "Your Life, Your Choices" content and tried to talk about
other VA issues.
