When Congress rushed in two years ago to fix a chronic delay problem at the Veterans Health Administration, one of the key reforms was a new, $10 billion program called Veterans Choice.
The goal was to give vets an option of going to a private doctor if they werent able to get a timely appointment with a government-paid VHA doctor.

If Hillary wins, the Veterans Choice is going to be nothing or euthanasia.
Isn't this the norm in countries with "free" socialized medicine?
Just think if the agency gets the trillions in funding they “need”! No one will be able to use it at all except some select Congressmen on the committee and the small circle of people bribing them.
Whoever wins, I can’t understand how people continue enlisting with these stories out there.
Truly bizarre...
The middle man is Triwest Healthcare Alliance. I recently used the Choice Card Program. It actually worked. I live more than 40 miles from VAH and they couldn’t get me in for over 45 days. But it ain’t easy...
It’s called patriotism and involves young people putting their Country’s needs in front of their own. I work with young people in the Army every day just like this. You would be amazed what they endure while serving their Nation.
>ten BILLION dollars for nothing... who ran it, the 0bamacare group
I don’t care if it were the ‘Republicare group’, we’d still be reading the same story; $10B wasted all around.
Govt is govt. They don’t SOLVE problems; especially those of their own making.
I have a service related disability and I stopped going to the VA in 1967. I see service has not improved since.
Shameful treatment of vets- who put their lives on the line for us.
My local VA clinic is top-notch, I've received great, timely service, and I recently used VA's Choice program for an annual eye exam in my hometown with only a 2 week wait.
It's all about competent management.
Free mental health practice for vets AND FAMILIES.

5 clinics open now, 25 more in 5 years, going to have mobile units and online assistance.
If that is their motivation for enlisting, than they are patriotic indeed.
