I'm surprised we don't already have this thread. Anyway, here it is. Feel free to post your stories, bitches and complaints. I'll start with today's stupidity. Not a major issue, it's just dumb.
So, it's time for new glasses and it's been a couple years so I decide I better get an exam. There is a Vet Clinic here but it is for basic healthcare. No x-rays, stuff like that. Gotta go to Salt Lake 150 miles away. Long story short they recommend the new Veterans Choice program. Okay, I get approved and have a local appointment. After the appointment, and finding out I'm still getting older and need fucking bi-focals, it occures to me that I still need to take the fucking perscription to Salt Lake to get glasses. Only now it costs me because it's walk in and I don't get travel. I don't have an appointment in SL for about another year. The Vertans Choice people say they cover the exam, but not glasses. Soooooo, I still have to go to SL, now without travel reimbersment, or buy my own. At least, that's how the day ended. Maybe sitting on the phone pressing this number, then that number, then this number until I get someone that knows something tomorrow may have different results. I doubt it.
