I just watched "Sicko" a Michael Moore film and if you haven't seen it yet I highly recommend it. If this doesn't open your eyes check your heart. Get in touch with your congressman to support HR 676 remind them they work for you and if they want to keep that job they need to listen or we can put someone in that will. It is time for empty words to be replaced with action, and caring & compassion to extreme profits.
When I hurt my knee in '99 I went to the VA one of the benefits of serving in the Navy or that is what we are told, I have never experienced treatment like that but I did learn a valuable lesson and that is if you don't speak up it won't change. I was a guinea pig for their medical trials with negative results and suffering unbearable pain. Drugs like Vioxx & Celebrex that didn't help but messed up my stomach and with pain so intense making it hard to do anything. I left the VA when I couldn't get proper care and instead of them caring about the patients welfare they were there for a paycheck and retirement once hired it was almost impossible to get fired, li.ke most government jobs, they take care of themselves first , we were an after thought. So you think you have medical insurance, and trust them to do what they say, think again. A change has to happen and it starts with me. Find out what is being done in Washington and get involved, don't let this madness continue. I realize this is a change from what I normally write but I'm fed up with the lack of positive action concerning health care and access to medical cannabis without concern of going to jail even though it is legal with a Dr's recommendation and because of it I have a life not wasted with narcotics that were prescribed for pain because I wasn't old enough to have my knees replaced because they only wanted to replace them more than once, more concerned about feeding narcotics for pain instead of giving quality of life by doing the knee replacement 8 years ago. Become aware stand up and be counted tell our government to get out of the war and into caring and to truly be one nation, that cares follow the examples that are working because it is broke and needs to be fixed.
We found our Paradise, hope you find yours too.

I hear you! I like being able to use the V.A. but I only use it as a last resort, I pay for insurance for my wife and I through Group Health,But have a high liability payment untill it kicks in. So If I need a really expensive procedure I go to the VA.
I wouldn't have them operate on me unless there was no option! (Money,Time etc.)
