VA health care [View All]

So for the past few days I've been getting a recurrent fever. When I call for an appointment I get a message that the line is busy and to try later. The trick is to call as near 8:00 in the morning when the staff arrives. So I call back at 8:10 and they tell me I can have an appointment for 11:30 the following day. This is unacceptable as any appointment after 9:40 is an exercise in futility as you sit in the waiting room until the 4:30 closing time when they tell you to reschedule. I asked to make an appointment for the following day but they only make appointments 24 hours in advance.
In essence, veterans health care is a hoax. The other alternatives are going to the emergency room where they send you to the non-emergent clinic where everyone is treated with ibuprofen and sent on their way; going to a VA outpatient clinic at a remote location; or going to a private physician.
I'd like to thank the Bush Administration for degrading the veterans health care system that was beginning to make great strides toward treating veterans with some degree of dignity during the Clinton Administration.
Why do Bush and Cheney hate America's veterans?
