My nearest VA Clinic, by the way…is an hour and a half away. A minor inconvenience, for me, but for those who aren’t physically mobile…it’s a pain in the ass.
What a superb luxury for us as veterans. There is always an line of support buses and vans when I go to the VA. Veterans have helped me from the garage to the building when I was on crutches, and I was finally able to pay it forward.
Commute, well, I have sat for four hours trying to go 15 miles.
I recently retired at 62 to be a full time caregiver to a parent. This meant a lapse in med coverage until I’m 65. As a Vet with a service connected disability, I have a great GP at the brand new VA Facility in my FL town. I use every opportunity to praise the level of care by the Pros I see there.
My dad’s was 2 hours away (from Savannah, GA). He was lucky enough to be able to afford private care and so rarely went. It still pissed him off to think of all the vets who just didn’t go or didn’t get care because of the distance.
The current administration will make this worse, of course.
My husband works on a Home-Based Primary Care team. They travel to the homes of house-bound veterans, providing care to veterans plus training to caregivers so veterans can stay in their homes longer. It's a great program.
Yep. Not just that, most Americans seem perfectly happy to pay several thousands of dollars a year for a private plan that sucks, through insurance companies who cheat them at every possible turn, just so they don't have to save thousands and get "socialist" health care.
Being a British ex-pat, the whole of US health care will leave you open mouthed when compared to the NHS. Saying that, generally US ex-servicemen are better served than our British counterparts.
That is Great. You like myself, believe in the science of vaccines. I always follow through with updates including the latest updates on Covid vaccines 👍👍👍
We get ours on whatever schedule we’re told to follow. We also take selfies showing our bandaids & send them to the kids b/c we love them, they love us, and it keeps them off our backs if we’re to ever miss one💕
good choice....disease is going to be one of the biggest threats in the coming years if this admin survives to implement its agenda.
Ironically it will be mostly the "woke" who will get through to the other side
Did you ask about measles? I was at my VA appointment today and basically got a shrug when I did. I got a measles shot as a wee lad, but I have no clue as to whether I still have antibodies, and thanks to brainworm Bobby Jr. we all have to rethink about our measles immunity.
Good for you. Reminds me, this week, I have to get my second measles shot after a titer test revealed I had no antibodies for that nor rubella. 1964 baby.

Well Done 👍
Because of our health system, I get a reminder when I need to get a booster.
I would advise anyone who thinks that they had measles as a child to do the same, but isn’t sure to consider doing the same.
