[QUOTE="ConstitutionCowboy, post: 3017483, member: 745"] I stand corrected; I believe you are right. As for me, from the time I left the service in 1970 up until about 2000, I provided for my and my family's health care needs. Healthcare took a big dive when HMO's came along(Thanks Ted K.; may you reside down wind of Satan's ass for the rest of eternity). The VA was and is the best choice for me. After all, I earned it. Despite all the top choice, first line healthcare programs I endured, I get the best care I ever had with the VA since the time I grew up in - when doctors made house calls. EVERY plan I had was managed by health insurance companies with an eye toward budget before care. The Prudential Tower in Boston showed me where my insurance dollars were going. With an insurance company between you and your doctor --- well, you do the math. Insurance companies are not in business to help you. They are in business to make a profit. Fee for service was the best way to receive healthcare and probably will be again. Woody [/QUOTE]
