        How come this Veteran wasn’t put in the choice program so he could get this procedure done locally ? This is unbelievable. I am in the choice program.

        The alternative seems to be a 4 month wait to get into a VA facility. Vets should have a choice.

        A hybrid between the VA and private sector clinics might work. The challenge is the billing. If the nation had something like Medicare for all, it would, somewhat mirror the VA prices. However, before anyone gets Medicare, it's part D needs to negotiate prices on drugs.

        2002 Peter Arno Paying Twice for the Same Drugs Washington Post. Federal gov has probably spent over $100 billion on prescription drug research since 1980. Bayh Dole Act should be fixed so things based on fed gov research are affordable.
