So few veterans are using the so-called VA Choice that Secretary Bob McDonald is asking Congress for permission to reprogram the money for it. VA Choice lets veterans seek care at private providers, with VA paying. VA sent out 10 million Choice Cards since November. Only 27,000 veterans have made outside appointments using them. Republicans and Democrats insist the problem is the department and that it needs to do a better job promoting the choice program. They also want to change a quirk in the law that makes it hard for some veterans in rural areas to prove they live at least 40 miles from a VA health site.
I finally got my card the other day, but we're still trying to get the VA to pay for outside care they sent us for over a year ago. $1280.00
The card for outside care is basically worthless at this point.
This is Obamacare 5 years from now.
You will HATE it. Six weeks (min.) to get an appointment, and bureaucratic incompetence/carelessness. Doctors so swamped that they just try to find something they can prescribe and get you out the door.
