When you don't have enough licensed trained clinicians, how many patients are treated per day? If less patients are treated, less pay is in returned. The way health insurance is done these days is by patient volume. However, the quality of care goes down precipitously...
The clinicians at the VA is are really good, there is just not enough of them to treat all the personnel that need to be seen in due course...
Private or civilian clinics are more abundant and could be reimbursed for treatment options. But, people have varying views. Sure, someone will get seen at the VA, but that may be awhile, opposed to a high volume location that sees a constant barrage of patients daily...
It's not like I am for this bill, I just question the feasibility of one plan over another.
