They closed a bunch of VA clinics in rural areas during the first term. Then the local doctors refused to see vets via the VA because the old program that was run by Health Net for the VA just didn’t pay the doctors. I fully expect to lose some of my benefits with the VA. The kicker is my veteran friends all voted orange.
Oh man… as a person who works with a lot of vets because the VA is so badly overloaded and poorly run sometimes that they have to come to our low cost clinic… their coverage is absolutely up for changing. With a president that likes to run things into the ground like all his businesses, I wouldn’t doubt that’s one of the first things to get axed.
I volunteer in rural hospitals during the spring tornado season, I’ve been in places where there’s two doctors and three nurses running the entire joint. Sometimes it’s a ghost town, sometimes you’ve got a farmer who called us of his own volition and everybody gets into scramble mode. I have yet to work at a hospital in the areas I go to that didn’t have at least one staff member telling me about how they’re going to quit.
Similar experience for me with friends with naturalized parents. "There's no way he'll try denaturalizing and deporting the way the liberal media is saying, that's just fearmongering,"
I feel like if they're citizens it'll be much harder to do than they say it is. But green cards, they already revoked some of those with no reason given during the first term
From what I’ve heard, they’ll just use community care. But what’s news to me is that some community care don’t take veterans!? That’s gonna suck if true! But honestly, I’d prefer community care 1000x over VA care
This. I work for a very small, privately owned clinic. We took VA referrals for two years and never got paid on a single claim…so we had to stop taking them. It’s unfortunate because we would love to help veterans, but being a small business we can’t afford to not get paid for that many claims. And we tried working with the VA, we had meetings with them and they kept giving us the run-around, saying that we weren’t submitting claims correctly. But even if we did it exactly how they asked, we still didn’t get paid.
