Well I guess I’m privileged then. My ambulance took me to a first-class hospital where they amputated my leg, then to a decent nursing home for rehabilitation for months and it cost me exactly nothing.

“Well I guess I’m privileged then.”

Not being a vet, I’m clueless about how the VA healthcare system handles such things. If it’s anything like civilian healthcare, insurance often does not cover everything.
Your case sounds like a pretty extreme situation - maybe with this guy his situation wasn’t deemed “ambulance transport-worthy”, I dunno. Which might have been the reasoning since he did get to the VA hospital in a JJ sandwich delivery car in the end. That would be my guess, at any rate.
