The VA Health Care Dilemma - And Response

  • Friday, July 24, 2015

The Veterans Administration is trying to help more vets through their Veteran's Choice program which allows veterans to see local health care providers. 

Unfortunately in the Chattanooga area some providers don't want to treat veterans through VA referrals (you know who you are) and some that do are the among the least desirable providers.

Rock on Steve.  I have been trying to have back surgery since last fall.  Tri-West sucks.  They are no help.  The one provider offered to me had a rating of 2-and-a-half stars out of 5.  

Choice program say they will continue to search for something in Chattanooga.
