[QUOTE="ConstitutionCowboy, post: 3017223, member: 745"] Receiving care through the VA is part of my pay for being in the service honorably. Even if you have a service connected condition or injury, if you don't sign up within the time period specified after you leave the service, you are not eligible. That right there is a limit applicable to service connected or non-service connected care. Whatever expense the VA is, it is part of the cost of the defense of the United States. Promises made, promises kept. I do not have a service connected condition or injury, but because I signed up prior to the end of any time limit, I am eligible for and receive my health care through the VA. Best move I ever made. I wish I had enrolled prior to my heart attacks. The quality of care I receive is top notch. The OKC VA hospital being associated with OU Medical Center is a big plus for me, the hospital, and the OU med students as well. I've had stents installed, a blocked peripheral blood vessel replaced with an artificial artery, a major subdural hematoma caused by a vehicle accident removed from the left side of my brain(for which the VA was eventually compensated for by the other driver's insurance), and as recent as last Tuesday through Friday been treated for a perforated appendix. With all of this and my annual check-ups and prescriptions, I make a co-payment. I receive nothing for free from the VA. I've seen first hand the value of the technology implemented by the VA. It is nice to see a doctor sitting at the computer typing in his/her notes directly during an exam. Next exam, those notes are right up there on the screen along with lab results and etc.. It is very convenient to be able to order refills and view appointment schedules on line. Woody [/QUOTE]
