SINSULL: mediocre health care facilities? Nonsense. Veterans of this war, as with all prior wars, will have access to the VA Health Care System. I'm a former VA employee (and a disabled veteran) and I have excellent health insurance. I choose to go to the VA since the Albuquerque Medical Center is affiliated with the University Medical School and the care I receive is as good as I would get anywhere else in my city. (And the VA bills my insurance.) The VA, on the average, consistently receives higher scores on the surveys conducted by the Joint Commission of the Accreditation of Health Care Organizations.   The VA treats Gulf War veterans, and all other veterans, with identifiable physical and psychological symptoms, and pays monetary compensation for those conditions that are related to military service and have been authorized by Congress.
