10 OUT OF 100

Speaking of veterans health care... not trying to jack the thread or anything, but I need to show you guys this. Obama adm is trying to cut more cost to defense by jacking up the price for Tricare (for active and ret). He also wants to make everyone pay for their meds. And retirees will have to pay so much that they will be forced to get off Tricare and go on obamacare (according to the white house).

Just thought you should know.

The VA hospital in Newington, CT rates an A and the big one in West Haven an A+. My only complaint about either one is the parking. But West Haven now has valet parking which makes it easier for me. My main treatment for my heart is in Newington and the cardio and primary doctors are the best trained around. My operation and major tests are in West Haven and they are just wonderful there. In Newington most doctors come from UCONN Medical and in West Haven they come from Yale University and Yale-New Haven Hospital. Both are top notch medical establishments.

Now if you want a 1 to 10 or 1 to 100 rating, then Newington is rated at least a 8.5 to 9.0 and West Haven an easy 9.5

Bluesun....I also hear that the military is really pissed at obama for this bull crap. My nephew's wife just had a baby and they are being told that if this plan of Obama's goes thru then he must get health care insurance for his wife, his son, and their daughter at a cost to him of over $150 a month. The military do not get paid much as it is. How can they afford this extra cost?

nobody,

I have been going to Ann Arbor V.A. Hospital myself since 2002 or was it 2003. In fact I was just down there early Feb, 2012 for my lung function testing. This was the best it has been for years (that doesn't speak for rest of this nursing home material person though). This hospital I give it about a 9 in a scale up to 10. My lung doc there is a nice doc unlike years ago though when the lung doc was rude to me. I stated to a neurology interen that I Grand Rapids should have a V.A. Hospital being that it's the second largest city in Michigan. She came back and was probility pissed off from my statement and said that my primary care doc manage my neuropathy.
I haven't lived around the Detroit area since I went into the USAF. My brother and familiy live in Lincoln Park. We grew up in northwest Detroit and Livonia. Since I got out of the USAF, I've been living in G.R. area ever since.

Happy, maybe he wants the military to go broke. Or maybe for all to get out. I don't know what he's thinking honestly. maybe he thinks the military will pay for the deficit. Even though the military get paid next to nothing for volunteering to get blown up and shot all up to do his dirty work. He has such a sick mind. You would think the least the gov would do is take care of those who sacrificed so much. Not in his world.

I have been using the Martinsburg VA since 2006. I give them a 9.5 out of 10.

Blue..... i personally think he wants to downsize the military to the point where it has few weapons and is not a threat to him if he decides to use his Executive Orders to downsize and do away with Congress as being unnecessary.

And he wants his own private "gestapo-like" police force, to help him rule the country when he declares himself king. Keep your weapons at the ready, just in case he pulls it off and they try to confiscate yours. Molon Labe.

AN A IN INDY.

MY HUSBAND GOES TO THE VA IN SYRACUSE NEW YORK. HE GETS THE BEST CARE THERE. THEY HAVE A GROUP OF GREAT NURSES AND DOCTORS. I'D RATE THE HOSPITAL A 10 OUT OF 10. WE''VE MET A LOT OF NICE PEOPLE THERE.. EVERYONE HAVE A GREAT NIGHT. HUGS, TGIK

Morning people,

First Happy Easter and a happy holiday for whatever you believe.
I go to the Hines VA right outside of Chicago. Ive been going there for about 5 years now. I have no complaints except that the pop machine charges to much and the cafeteria is a little high also . (Of course Im kidding !!!)
I would rate Hines VA as a 9 or 10.
I also go to my local out patient VA clinic (Ten minutes from my house. Hines is about 20 /25 miles away.)
They are both very good. 99% nice people .
I look at it this way. The doctors at the VA probably get paid a salary .unlike a private doctor that gets paid on how many patients that he/she sees . Probably no quick back on drugs that they prescribe. Soooooooooooooo, they take their time . No rushing you through.
I once had 4 or 5 eye doctors taking care of me at the same time . They all consulted each other on my condition . I would not get that in the private sector.
I also have Medicare and a supplement insurance that Im first starting to use and learn how to . !
BTW- I have about 8 or 9 appointments that I have to make for different check ups on all the shit that I do have. Or may have . Ha=Ha .
I go on .. Try to live everyday ..
God bless us all
