No direct experience with the VA medical care - not a vet - but continually have been concerned/interested that the outfit functions at a top level for all vets that need it.
I have kept in touch with some who do go to the VA for care here in the SW, and spent a ton of time helping one fellow who went to them a lot - took him to Alb. for that a few times. The user comments to me have been very positive in recent times.
