January 1, 2005, I lost my medical insurance (Blue Cross/Blue Shield). But I had anticipated this and had already applied for and been approved for Veteran's benefits. Now all my healthcare comes from the VA. I now get a second chance to give my life for my country. I'm Joking, The VA ENTs are more thorough than my former physicians. They see me Monthly and my VA ENT, a tiny little young woman, scopes me on every visit because her hands are too small for the RUDE & CRUDE digital exam, I wish she was my Proctologist.
They are taking excellent care of me and thousands of other Veterans.
If you see or hear of any proposed budget cuts to VA, please I urge you to write your elected officials in protest.
Thanks
DARRELL
