I've met a lot of veterans in the bars in Helena, Montana. From old veterans whose health is going bad to young guys that were shot up in Iraq or Afghanistan. And I've learned things from them. There aren't any great VA hospitals. It's just that some are better than others. The one in Helena is known as one of the better ones. Consequently, there is an inordinate amount of veterans living in Helena. One of the things they told me about was the undesirable list the VA maintains. This list is for veterans who are deemed to disruptive to provide healthcare for. They are excluded from healthcare services. If you complain to much about the long wait times or shoddy healthcare you can find yourself on the list.
