If I am not mistaken that means that someone has taken your article and posted it on another site! And deservedly so. Kristen, look at your response #4.

Someone told me that the VA actually has a pamphlet regarding "end of life decisions" for veterans, if you can imagine anything so horrible. We will look for that pamphlet tomorrow at the local VA and see what it really says. Thank you all for your gracious welcome and delightful comments! Blessings, Kristen Thank you, Linda.

One good web location for home remedies is earthclinic.com. I am not a spokesperson for the site but my wife and I have both used it successfully. Excellent article.

In general, active duty military get excellent care. In general, their dependents get good to only mostly adequate care, some of it grudging. Once a soldier retires--don't even think of trying to access the "free health care for life" promised back in 1965. Your insurance will be charged, you will be resented, and when you call up for an ordinary G-Y-N appointment you will be given an "appointment" to MAKE AN APPOINTMENT--six weeks later. These tactics are very effective. You go away. You call a private clinic and are in that week. Great ending! "Living our daily lives on triage basis just is not acceptable." Incredible. A one-sentence skewering of what is worst about socialized medicine. LBT Linda Kristen, I would be laughing if I hadn’t grown up in military circles and been a career Army man’s wife.
