I know but when you buy a home using the VA they have you on the list for Medical. You don't have to re-register.

Originally posted by Sam The ShamActually, medical care for ALL veterans was discontinued some years ago. You can now only received medical for injuries sustained during and because of your military service. The amount of medical care depends on your % of disability. Don't go thru the VA, find a local Disabled American Vets Center to guide you thru the anal examination.
My God....a perfect example of what I said. If you recieved an honorable discharge, you may apply to the VA for free (almost)medical care. For life.
There is a small charge for services, dependant upon your income, but it's laughable. Like pennies on the dollar.
Go to the VA and apply, get an ID card, and take advantage of it. Bring your DD-214 ...[text shortened]... en advantage of it. I did it twice, after serving in the army, then the air force.

There's a VA Hospital in Phila.Pa.

Originally posted by smw6869Seems like the VA went through a bad period about 25 years ago until there was a public uproar over poor service, etc., and they went through a big campaign to improve things. I can go in the emergency room now and get treated immediately if my big toe is swollen.
