    • our LTC insurance is the VA they pay for home care and if it gets going to a LTC home the VA uses your SS so no additional outlay.......we are covered with no cost to us except my service time and exposure to AO which haunts me today

    • R Quinn another deep article ........My wife and I are lucky or unlucky to be covered by the VA.......I am 100% P&T from exposure to Agent Orange and dealing with 4 Cancers.......we have had no problems with care if for some reason care is not covered by VA Community Care I use Medicare most time for small procedure and pay small co-pay........my wife just shows her ChampVA card and is covered......that is my only complaint the system should be reversed but the is the VA.....when I get payment record the difference between billed/payment is about 80%.....if the Hosp bills $100 the VA or Medicare pays $20 the difference is put on their Tax Return as a loss against profit so they have lower Tax exposure.......a win win for everyone...........so for us the Gov is good..........we also pay $0 but I have paid for my Service and expose to the good bad and ugly
