Its getting really old that my Primary Care Doc is changed again. Had the same one from 1994- 2006. Now each time I go in its a new one. Was last in 6 months ago and it now another new one I see for my yearly.

    Up till 2 yrs and 3 month I did not have a bad thing to say, then it started, they charged my primary physician , or I should say they removed me from having a physician to not having one, getting my meds refilled, then they decided to cut my pain meds. I am at 1/4 of what I was taking. Quality of life is just a damn useless word.
    I've got a appointment with a pain specialist (Aug 10) I think they want us to die off so they won't have to deal with us.
    I pray that this * had to go thru my pain for 1 day, then maybe he would not be in such a all fire hurry to take me off the only thing that helps handle the pain.

    ACA and the DEMOCRATs really put the screw on all vets, especially those who are retired.
    Telling these people where to live if they want healthcare, making retirees go to military bases only to get their meds or pay full cost.

    The long waits are still there to get an appointment with the VA. What the DEMOCRATs fix was allow VETS to seek healthcare from the private sector with Tricare Prime....... What they don't tell you is most private sector doctors and clinics do not accept Tricare Prime.
    So they are expected to pay.

    Thus VETS may have to drive long distance if they are fortunate to find someone who will accept Tricare.

    DEMOCRATs will allow FREE healthcare to illegal aliens and felons however, but if a VET shows up, the VET is expected to pay.

    It is a disgusting day when illegals, criminals, and societal parasites receive superior medical care than our VETS. Thanks to you DEMOCRATS.

    Veterans should be issued a card that can be used at any medical facility.

    It's no different than any system the government runs. People in charge are a bunch of bureaucrats that hire family and friends that can't get a job anywhere else and can't be fired. Some really care about the vets that come in for care many are just there for a pay check.

    Not even eligible for Tri Care Prime, they cut it for my area now its just Tri-Care and not many folks will accept that.

    No, they shouldn't.
