Dept. of Veterans Affairs healthcare is available to any military veteran who served in the army, navy, or air service, and was honorably discharged. There are about 1,400 inpatient and outpatient facilities. VA healthcare was a nightmare until the mid-1990s... had a complete overhaul and is considered one of the best systems in the country today. It consistently beats other healthcare systems in the Customer Satisfaction Index.
