I live under US Govt run socialized medicine. I can't get the devices I need for daily life. I have to pay for them out of pocket. Hospital Bed with accessories to the shower bench. Walker, wheelchair lift and so on. I have lived this way since I was 17. I get treatments that they determine are authorized. I was stuck with a quarter million dollar bill because they retroactively disapproved payment. Then said oh, we made a mistake but to bad for you, you still gotta pay. I have been trying since 1987 to get just one single appointment and am still waiting even tho I have applied numerous times over the years. Tell me how good socialized medicine is. And I get to pay taxes for my medical devices to boot. There is no upside as far as I am concerned.
Tell me what socialized medicine you have that you are waiting on an appointment since 1987.
I have requested multiple appointments with the VA. I broke my insulin on my way to Phoenix from out here in cooler country up in the high desert and Luke AFB refused to see me. I didn't live close enough to suit them for care. I got hurt in Mississippi and went to Keesler AFB for care because it was like 10 miles away (the closest civ hospital was farther). They refused to see me because I lived in Arizona. I have been to Nellis AFB when visiting Vegas (slightly over 100 miles from where I live) and they refused to see me because I live in Arizona (Luke is 150 miles away and is the closest military installation in AZ).
Medicare even harasses me over my wheelchair because I have to prove every 6 months that I need it. That includes a 100 mile round trip to a doc to get the paperwork updated.
Just some examples.
VSO and Stand downs, hit the ombudsman But dont whine about the air force, as you know they are not a real service. Of course you are a civilian now, and could have said, I want to talk to the chickenshit colonel or the Briggie bait that runs this motherfucker, now hweres the news...............and so on, because you know that aint law, thats guys trying to get good numbers, Say, isn't John McCain down there in AZ? You don't have the phone number of one of his aides? You better believe I got mine.
But you were at these places since 1987 looking to get in?
