Bad mood. Looks like to me some of posters don't have any dog in the hunt. Other than the lowly job of tax payer.
Today I got a letter from VA telling me that they no longer perform elective GI procedures due to a shortage of GI physicians. Hey I didn't ask for this test, my Dr. did. I'm not real interested in them using the light that came from someones butt.( other news post). But they're going to farm this test out to Humana. So is this a test of health care at VA? Maybe my test will be in Wheeling, WVA.

While I'm on this horse. The VA hospitals are teaching hospitals. When the intern class graduates it leaves a hole, which isn't filled till next class. See what I call a real Dr.? Good luck. Can you say Guinea pig?

Buster - while I am not personally involved, I am VERY interested in whats going on with this. I was just doing some research and it appears that the meeting yesterday was successful for the Vet organizations. The plan has reportedly been shelved.
The only link I can find is here Quote:

Class. Only trouble for me I see, down the road, is WW11 vets are dieing around 1k a day. So someone is going to call for a budget cut.
I'm wondering why, Humana? I see campaign donations.

I know. And I do. I just also know what happens to most politicians once they're in office. He will have to compromise to get it passed. I just hope he doesn't compromise the wrong parts.

They came up with an idea, threw it out there, listened to the people who would be affected as to the reasons why they felt it was unfair, and decided it was a bad idea. Isn't that the way it should work?
