There is a serious epidemic of Veterans killing themselves. Most folks dont know about the 22 vets a day that commit suicide. While the cause is many, the options these veterans have is zero. I was medically discharged over 25 years ago with "undiagnosed illness and injury's". It no longer pains me to share this as I hope to help others. The hotlines, the VA medical clinics, the ER's do not care. Another problem is the meds they hand out can cause suicidal tendency also. I just touched on this subject as I am not a professional. These same problems can happen to anyone not just combat veterans. The fix is simple. Take care of our people with real options. These agency's like the VA need to be shut down. Send the money they get to the local county's who are dealing with the problems. I have received more care and better care from a free clinic than any doctor. When I call someone for help and they start out who is your insurance company I usually just hang up anymore. Another example of out bad medical care, I broke my arm in two places. The ER would not even give me a aspirin. I didn't need them to tell me I broke my arm. I needed help with getting my arm fixed. I went almost a year with that painful broken arm till I found a doctor who would fix it. I had to call the Governor's office about the insurance carrier I had. United Health Care sucks lol. It was bad before Obama care, it is worse now. Especially if your in the last half of your life. I would like to see some health reform with the Pharmaceutical company's and the termination of HMO's completely. Lst let me end woth this. The Veterans of our country are being turned loose on society without proper care for emotional problems. Not every veterans suffers. There was a promise when I signed up, and free medical was part of that. People loose their minds if you even suggest it anymore. If the Military would keep its promises I know I would have been better off. Maybe our state medical boards and the agencys that certify our hospitals need a enema if you get my drift.
