I created a healthcare category. Veterans’ healthcare & insurance-funded health care have a lot in common, so Voila! It’s all in one place.
I’m a 100% service-connected veteran of nearly 30 years. I have advocated for myself as both a veteran and private insurance-funded healthcare*.
The only difference is that one healthcare system can pass laws to prevent treatment, and the other lobbies politicians to pass laws to deny services to their customers.
My goal is to share my experiences to promote more questions that will inspire Americans to ask a minimum of one of these three:
1. Why isn’t veterans’ healthcare adequately funded?
2. Veterans have family and friends who die from inadequate health care*. Why aren’t all Americans getting the medical care and social services we need?
3. How is someone with no medical training in diagnostic medicine paid to deny needed health care and treatments based on the best bargain in favor of insurance company profits?
