Does the VA with their help for veterans seem to be going down hill?

Has anybody else seen the VA going down hill not giving the veterans the help they need seems to me they don't want to work on the issues just get us out quick?

If you have an issue or question about your medical care I would suggest you contact the patient advocate at your clinic.

I would say it's all depends, so far the one that I'm going to in Brooklyn NY is quite good and Camp Hill VA clinic, Lebanon PA VA were fine.

SFC Jeffrey Couch They can be in places. My first VAMC was part of the Phoenix area. The doctor was terrible. I soon moved to the Savannah, GA area and have had two doctors. Both have been pretty good. Even with those two decent doctors I only do my regular check ups and get some of my meds from the VA. Luckily I am retired and choose to use the military medical system and TRICARE. I am lucky and never had a bad military doctor, especially specialist doctors. I like to go with what I know and am comfortable with.
