I've been trying for months to get local care for my feet, a foot nurse, the have one about 3 blocks from my house. I live 67 miles from VA jackson and 55 to my clinic. So my Dr. got me appointment with a foot Dr. This is under the new Vets choice. Well the appointment is, by google 68 mile away. If you're over 40 mile from the VA SUPPOSE to get local care.
Of course the VA is, was using straight line miles. The American Legion has been trying to change that. Ever been the midwest? Try cutting across a state there. Look at a map of, say Iowa. The damn roads are laid out in squares.
