[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2521707, member: 9374"] I can't even begin to explain how terrible the VA system is from an administrative standpoint... I always dread dealing with the VA because of all the places I can attempt to transfer someone, they are hands'-down the worst. But you HAVE to at least attempt to get someone transferred there, or the VA will deny coverage if they go somewhere else (no matter the emergent medical necessity - i.e., a gunshot wound, an acute heart attack, etc.). Gotta give the VA the chance to say no, which they do in 80-90% of the cases I've dealt with... and it takes them 1-2 hours or longer to come to that conclusion. I have zero doubt in my mind that many patients have died simply because they're sitting around waiting on the VA. Yeah... that "socialized medicine experiment" is workin' out real great for our vets, ain't it? :( [/QUOTE]
