I don't have VA coverage, and I don't currently have other healthcare either. I've no plans to change that due to the obamacare tax. Cost is a huge issue. Costs went skyhigh, and coverages decreased significantly. Basically, it's significantly cheaper for me to self insure and pay the obamacare fine. I'll still be getting all my families prescription meds, preventative care, and have enough leftover for 2 ER visits/1 broken bone or minor surgery.

When you actually think about it the Obummercare is alot like the VA system headache except you don't have 2 b a Vet 2 get it. The only difference is you've gotta pay 4 it and you still get all the BS gov't red tape. Single "payer"system, gov't BS is more like it. "42 USC SS18115 - Freedom not to participate in Federal Health Insurance programs." was written into the law so, the only problem is when it fails miserably they're gonna bail it out tthen blame all the health insurance companies that it did. I look at it this way, they take out Medicare every paycheck then turn around n want you 2 pay 4 an insurance that they're gonna charge you 4 again anyway; lol duck tape, wd-40 n Ben-gay can fix alot of issues. I'm just saying I was a "DAT" in my day n Imma stay 1 till I'm relieved of duty and return to HQ's.

The problem is now the VA is telling us service connected older vets that if we have insurance, that we have to use it and our civilian primary care physician for our service connected disabities. That they are only there if we no longer have insurance.
