The program that I assume Randy’s friend that has cancer needs to be treated for by an oncologist. Under the CHOICE program that is monitored by the VA Community Health Group and paid for by TriWest would be a program worth looking into, it is for people that would live more then 50 miles from a VA facility. This program is over 7 years old and was recently extended in 2019. But the down to it is it has not been communicated well to Vets, most are not aware it exists and furthermore the use of private sector healthcare provider is expensive.

Let’s do a little homework on Mr. Wilkie. He has been asked to be dismissed by every Veteran’s Advocacy group in the country.

We dumb witted conservates get it. Congress holds the purse strings.

What we also get is that throwing money at a problem does nothing but make the problem worse especially when you have people that spend like a drunken sailor and have the same level of accountability as that drunken sailor.

You're right the VA's perfect and always has been when democrats are involved and the only thing Trump did was destroy it.

Every time I see advocacy groups involved in anything I see nothing but complaints and hear that the only solution to everything is more money.
