I got a glimpse into the VA this past year with a young Marine who was injured in Afghanistan. It was pitiful. Everytime somebody brings up Government healthcare I tell them to go to a VA hospital. That is what is in store for you.
My grandmother had a fulltime job until she was 91 yrs. old, when she was seriously debilitated due to shattering her hips she needed to be put into a nursing home. The government took everything and my mom had to account for every dollar from the previous 3 years. The government was paranoid that she may have tried to give away assets that could have been theirs to confiscate.
