[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 3303788, member: 9374"] Yeah, people think you can get 'free health care' for life if you serve in the military. Not so, and even though I'm not in a VA facility, I deal with veterans on a daily basis and the care they get through the VA infuriates me. Sadly, Medicare is about the best insurance there is out there these days, as far as getting things done. All commercial insurances now seem to have sky high deductibles, and require insane amounts of prior authorizations and consultations for anyone to get anything. VA requires all referrals and prescriptions go through them, they require that WE, as PROVIDERS must reapply for authorization (permission) to see their patients individually every year, they require patients (some anyways, don't ask me how they decide) to come see them and have labs done through them once yearly in spite of the fact they provide substandard care, or they will not cover them. I swear to God, every freaking day I think about refusing to take new VA patients. It's such a PITA. <edit> I don't even have time to sit here and type out the list of incredible frustrations I have with the VA system. [/QUOTE]
