This is beyond politics at this point, and I don't know if there is a political solution.

In 1932, WWI veterans and their families went to DC and camped out on the lawn..

in the end, the Army was brought out against them to force them to leave and some were killed.

for many years, the military and veterans administration has been using people as involunatary human guinea pigs and chalking it up to 'national security'.

In reality, it's about corporations and 'trade secrets' and patents and copyrights more than anything else, and that is just pathetic.

the pharmaeceutical companies shouldn't be what dictates what drugs a veteran takes but they are. that and budget and policy considerations.

since when did policy matter more to a doctor than the health of the patient?

it seems like since they started getting those checks from the govt to do VA work. and no, it doesn't matter if the check is a large one or small one, not to doctors trying to pay off medical loans and some that can no longer qualify for malpractice insurance because they have so many black marks against them.

the va system is a CESSPOOL.
