The Wrong Direction

Submitted by BJK, Jul 11, 2007 03:49

My husband has been waiting for 1 1/2 years to have a cataract removed by the VA. Recently he needed emergency hospitalization and was told there were five pages of vets ahead of him for the hospital. He went to a hospital 73 miles away and we will be paying the bill. Beware of the future with government running our healthcare!
