I feel exactly the same way about the VA. They have provided me with excellent care
since I enrolled 5 years ago. What other hospital system sets up dedicated teams to handle individual primary care or has a web system to contact care givers or re-order prescriptions? What other hospital system is prepared to handle agent orange, TBI's, PTSD and prosthetic limbs like the VA? Short answer: not one!
I've used some world class civilian hospitals before enrolling in the VA system and not a one
of them measured up to the VA care I've gotten.
Those who complain about the VA either have a right wing agenda or are just too simple minded to comprehend what good service is.

The VA does such a good job that I try to "give back" by doing volunteer work for a community based Vet Center in my area.
