I got my first glimpse of socialized medicine today.

I just returned home from turning in my registration papers to the VA clinic in Youngstown. The waiting room and parking lot was jammed full, lots of hustle and bustle. I'm not complaining, since I lost my medical insurance and am too young for medicare, I'm all for it, I've changed my tune. Funny how that works.

[P.A.]

You are very lucky to have the VA to fall back on when you lost your insurance.

[larry kremis]

I feel lucky pickle, thanks.

[Chez moi]

Good for you. I'm glad you had an alternative. Many are not so lucky.

Toys!!??

[larry kremis]

I'm a people watcher. All there is to watch there are old vererans like myself.

[TeeBubbaDee]

Are you saying the whole waiting room was full of white velcro shoe wearing belly dancers?? Man, that must have been some sight!!!

[larry kremis]

lmao. No, I saw long-haired, over-the-hill hippies like you.

VA turned me down for enrollment because I was too successful in my working career and saved a little money. Would this be means testing?

Read the fine print. It is for the very, very poor

[darroll]

Damn blonde,
I would love to call you a liar, but it is true.

[blondie 11]

people earn this as veteran's but you have to be in the ditch to collect. I worked with a guy that tryed and I read all the material. Really dirt poor.

[P.A.]

Larry, are you dirt poor?
