Just one more issue ripe for exploitation by a Republican candidate. Offer vouchers for Vets to visit private hospitals in lieu of VA hospitals.
Just for the information of Freepers, the VA does send vets to private hospitals for procedures unavailable at a local VA Medical Center (aka hospitals). But it does not issue vouchers for same. I had a CABG (coronary artery bypass graft(s))performed at a civilian hospital, courtesy of the VA and the American taxpayer.
