Greetings, I am on a mission to make sure veterans are not left to suffer or die as is currently the case with the Choice program. This problem is because if you live within 40 miles, soon to be 30 miles, you will be denied a local PCP. In Salem, Or as well as across the country the local VA facility is not taking new patients. The doctors here keep quitting and there were only 5 of 9 that were supposed to be there. I don't want to go into specifics but there are others across the country being denied. I was just denied again this week for community care because I have a local facility albeit worthless as it is. There was an email sent to many veterans regarding the Mission Act here: https://www.blogs.va.gov/VAntage/58621/new-eligibility-criteria-a-major-improvement-over-existing-rules/#comment-143897
If you read the comments at the bottom you will see there are others who want to make sure veterans aren't left to suffer and die like the Choice program allows. We need a forum where we can do private messaging and work together so that we can help those who are being denied care. There's a lot more to it. I'm working to make sure the Mission Act doesn't leave veterans high and dry. At least I was told the Mission Act is not yet written in stone and they are taking feedback. I have contacted my local representatives and now a few journalists. Please let me know if we can operate here somewhere. The .gov website doesn't allow private messages, will redact email addresses and is censoring.
Thank you,
Warner Holfeld
