Given cost and all else, I'll take my VA medical care over my wife's
civilian care any day.

Ditto ... although it has noticeably changed, for the worse IMO, in the
past twenty years, with the class/quality of employees slipping
drastically. Although it may be regional, around here you would now
swear you were in a f*cking US Post Office.

I've also noticed lately that the facilities at the DeBakey VA Medical
Center here in Houston, supposedly of the most modern, are showing
definite signs of being ill maintained. The actual medical care still
seems to be good to excellent, which is all that counts, but
surroundings generally portend the future ...

And I do love people who say things like ...Americans are happy with
what they have..." which is obvious bull**** to describe a system that
is a mess and getting worse.

With regard to insurance, that should probably be: "happy/lucky to have
what they got" ...
