Now that I am registered(I think) I have a 4 month wait before they will call me to get an appointment to be seen and be assigned a primary care physician AND I have to make a separate trip to a different location to file my claim! IN the mean while, I have no medical coverage on my current job, I think my cancer is back again, and the local VA in Phx., AZ is under investigation for reports of purposely letting patients die waiting for treatment and since I work swing shift I cant afford to repeatedly take time off to play the waiting game in the VA offices...Any thoughts or ideas on actions I can take?

RIP is the cure for medical debt.
Registered as a 501(C)(3) non-profit charity, RIP launched in 2014 to address the growing problem of medical debt in the general U.S. population.
RIP gained national attention in 2016 by forgiving almost $15 million in medical debt on HBO’s Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, climaxing a scorching segment on debt buyers and collectors.
Since that segment, which has been viewed over 10M times on Youtube, RIP has abolished medical debt in communities from Florida to California, most recently using a $150,000 donation from NBC Universal to abolish debt in 11 of their major television markets.
The medical debt burden of veterans and military early on caught the attention of RIP’s cofounders, veteran Harold “Jerry” Ashton (USN JO2-E5) and civilian Craig Antico. With the staff addition of Col (Ret.) Mikel Burroughs as Vice President and Director of Military Debt Acquisition and Relief, RIP is committing greater energy than ever to abolishing the medical debt of veterans and members of the armed services.
