Veterans not getting needed medical care

There’s a problem in Plainview with doctor’s care and veterans.

A few years ago the VA set in place a veteran’s choice card health care system so vets could see a doctor for their medical issues in a timely manner for those over 40 miles from care.

I have had contact with four doctor’s offices in Plainview that won’t accept veteran’s health care because they say the VA takes too long to pay the bill and too much paperwork, but they still take Medicare and welfare for non-U.S. citizens that are all paid for by taxpayers’ government dollars.

Doesn’t make since.
