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.

The scandal at Walter Reed Army Hospital caused people to wrongly criticize VAs healthcare. The different armed services have their own system - TRICARE - which is operated by the Dept. of Defense.

IMHO, it would make more sense to combine the two systems, but I'm no medical expert.
