[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1494888, member: 1715"] I have several senior Korean vet relatives who seem to be stuck in the VA system: - One has decent health and it seems to work OK for him. Periodic check ups and lots of pills. - Another has multiple chronic conditions and gets a lot of phone calls from nurses. Since he is hard of hearing -- this does not work very well. - A third appears to have dementia and is in a slow moving pipeline of tests, retests, referrals, and an occasional phone call from a nurse. Since he is easily confused this is not working well either. I have asked if/when they should pay up for some (better) private health care? They have the money but "free" is tough to compete with... :nod: Any tips on getting better VA service, or situations where one should just walk away from the VA system? [/QUOTE]
