1. About damned time! Maybe we should work on not creating so many of them.

3. GREAT NEWS! VA coverage should be universal

The closest Med Center in NY for me is in Albany - a 2 1/2 drive away....there's one only 20 minutes from me in Vermont which when I needed it was not afforded to me. Many 5 hour drives for 45 min or less visits for specialty care. Waste of time and money.

4. Isn't there a VA facility in Plattsburg, NY?

6. Why aren't you covered by the Mission Act?

I have 2 VA doctors, my primary care doctor, and my psychiatrist. All of my specialty doctors are non-VA because the nearest VA specialty doctors are more than a 30-minute drive away or you can't get an appointment in 28 days or less. There is also emergency care and urgent care. Also, you get, I think it has gone up to 62 cents a mile travel pay, minus $6 for VA and non-VA doctors.
