I doubt they would have known what I was talking about if I had though. :rofl:

4. The people I see working at the VA are far too busy to bother with wingnut nonsense.
The health care I've received through the VA has been magnificent. The folks who work in VA medical centers and clinics are always far too busy helping people to have time to play conspiracy nut with the perennial kooks of the right wing.

14. Amen....
The VA is being used as a model for 'for profit' systems... The software at the VA is open source, and has virtually eliminated lost records...

15. I dunno...
the disrupters have equated socialism and fascism -- socialized medicine and Obama as Hitler.

BTW, I wore a brown shirt and brown botanical print pants to work today. What can it mean?????

18. My hubby and I are grateful for both VA and medicare benefits.
We only ask, at our income level, why he must pay nearly $175/mt for a supplemental and why we can't afford to insure me (the best MINIMUM is at $497 with an unbearable deduction and no guarantee of coverage ---> FUCK THAT,,,,I'd rather die)

Thing is, NO ONE acknowledges the difficulties associated with American life and I am sicksicksick_N_tired of denial.

21. my dh has gotten great care there~ much better and swifter than i think he would
in a conventional setting. everyone should visit a va hospital. it is sobering and reinforcing at the same time.
