What's your view on doing away with the VA health system?

I read the question wrong. now that I saw a response, I had to seek non va care because my nearest VA did not have a specialist at the time. I used the non VA referal because Veterans choice fell through. This was after moving and changing regions and having to start all over again with a new VA Region. It would be nice if the system was more efficient and it did not take so long some times to get a simple appointment out of VA. On the other side though, almost all of my care has been with the VA since retirement. I don't mind the reimbursement for mileage, I schedule my appointments around payday so I can afford the initial cost. So if somebody in the VA needs to see my info, it is all in one location, no need for a release of records

I don't think it is a good idea. For the most part my VA health care has been very good and consistent. All of the VA providers I have used have been excellent with 1 exception. But that happens in non VA providers too.

If the system is equal to or greater than what is currently provide and the cost to the vet is equal or less than current, I would be in favor of such a move.

Since the coverage provided is about as likely to provide cost free coverage without deductibles as we a all are to win the lottery on the same day I am against the idea. It will make a very profitable pot of gold for some and screw the vets like tricare did for retirees
