The VA is an excellent example of why the government should not be running healthcare. I always dread whenever I have a clmnt who went to the VA for treatment, b/c I know there's going to be 1000+ pages of medical records, of which only 50 actually say anything relevant about treatments, medical conditions, etc...

Definitely praying for this man.

Good point. Makes one wonder about the Goverment getting involved with us thru the Obama Care, or a public option being run by them.
