The news is full of his surgery for cancer at the mayo clinic in Phoenix.Was just wondering why he didn't use the VA hospital system that I have to use?Maybe find out how shoddy the places are?
Comments?
 
I know two nurses who worked in the VA hospital system and quit after 1 year. I can't describe how bad the conditions are at a VA, because I've never been in one, but these two ladies nearly cry when they talk about how bad the conditions are. This is what to expect in Big Brother takes over health care. J. Mcain knows this as much as you and I. If you could have a choice between private or public hospitals, which would you choose? Private or Public Schools? Socialist Security or a 401K? Politicians talk one way, and do the other. Yeah J. Mcain is for the veterans, and is leading by example. DONT GO TO THE VA!!!
 
Would be wunnerful if our Arizona veterans advocate would give the VA a try. We seem to have a system that is a haven for aliens with dubious education and skills. At least in a private hospital one can expect the practicioneer to be educated, tested, ingleesh speeking and licensed by the state. No such requirement for working for the govt.

This may seem like an inconsequential point, but Senator McCain is a retired, regular naval officer. As such, he will generally seek treatment in a military hospital (or under DoD's TriCare system) rather than in a VA hospital. Obviously, as a Senator, he has additional health treatment options. The point, however, is that RETIRED personnel are eligible for DoD health care, while veterans generally are not.

They point I am trying to make is the poor care at the VA.If he would have had this done at the VA maybe he could see how bad the system is.Even if he would have gone to the VA with the special treatment he would have gotten he maybe would not have seen it.
Attention has to be drawn to this problem someway and that might have been a start.
I'm dreaming of course.
