Veterans

the same experiences with VA hospitals in the SF Bay Area as well as VA Mather and VA McClellan near me in Sacramento. Mather is very closely tied to the UC Davis Medical Center. Good quality care. Life saving care. The David Grant research hospital facility at Travis AFB did save my life nine years ago.

I have been in the VA system for a bit over fifty years and I have noticed a great improvement overall. I remember that early on my major fight was with the bean counters who seemed to feel that their function was to deny treatment. Not helpful at all. The most spectacular improvement has to be with records keeping. In the sixties, seventies and eighties the book keeping and handling of records was a hideous farce at times, too many times. A massive investment in a computer system that actually works has solved much of that.

Gawd help us if this system is monetized and privatized.
