Kicked out of the system

[William East]

Good Morning: I have been in the VA health care system for going on 12 years . I got married 8 years ago . Out of the blue Im not eligible for healthcare due to income. our combined income is roughly $100K . I have been going to them for hip and back injury. hip was scheduled to be replaced when Covid hit. And I wasnt able to get on the schedule due to Im still mobile. Do I have any options?

Even priority group 8 (over income threshold) you can still get care, you'll just have co-pays. Its been that way for awhile, at least since 2002 when I got out, though there may have been some years in there where their budget didn't extend to priority 7 or 8- but I didn't look that far into it.
