I have no personal experience. The US has only ONE limited experiment in socialized medicine. It administered by the "Department of Veterans Affairs." Anybody have experience with this? Is it as bad as they say it is in Canada and England? I have had many occasions to get treatment at the VA hospital in Wash DC. I have no gripes about the treatment I've recieved. The facility and the promptness of care both improved greatly under the Bush administration. But, they weren't bad before. Much of the VA griping comes from liberals who've not used the facility. Again, I have no horse in this race. I have 8 folks that report to me..... and 7 are retired military. Most of them are not complimentary. Maybe we should go to an all pay system... including ex-military. Ask them to show you their VA ID card. See if their are any words written under the picture. Those can make a big difference in their entitlements under VA. -- John H "The problem with Socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money." --Margaret Thatcher |
