Some advice for you from someone dealing with TRICARE and the VA. Do all you can through TRICARE (I now have Prime, switching to Standard though), getting the VA appointment isn’t the worst of dealing with them. The care sucks more than Chrisy Matthews. If you have to deal with VA do it some place other than Marion, Illinois. I have flat refused to go back to that hell hole. Have been working to get transferred to Nashville, Tn.

Good Luck!

@ Iron Fist:
Americans have been going to Mexico for medical and dental care for years, although it’s probably slowed down some recently due to the violence.

Reliable sources tell me that you can get good (and low-priced) care in Chile, with no worries about violence. The big expense will be the airfare and the unpleasantness of being groped by the TSA on your way out.

They are going to take the best health care system the world has ever seen and destroy it in the name of equality. All the while knowing that they will be able to get their premium health care elsewhere. And some people are eating it up because they think they’ll get something for “free”. Poll show that a solid majority still wants it repealed, though. We’ll see if that effects the election any.

Like I said, two teirs of care: one for the plebians and ne for the patricians. Mexico may become famous for their hospitals if ObamaCare holds. It would take som etime for them to build up, but they coul dhire doctors from the United States, and facilities ca be built if the money is there. Of course, if ObamaCare holds, in 20 years the best doctors won’t be ones educated in the United States, anyway. Socialism is a leech. It drains the life out of everything that it comes in contact with.

@ lobo91:

There is a reason that the town of Bangor, Maine, with a population of around 60,000, has 12 hospitals.

Canadians.

Exactly
