No I mean minimal regulations.
You are one of the lucky few who get to use the VA system.
I served 11 years in the reserves and I am not allowed to use the VA system.
In order to use the VA you must be eligible and that number is
climbing once again after dropping off.
It is a very good system over all.
My sons companion uses it as he is a DAV (Officially now) My
youngest might be able to use it, but they will usually not credit
training time for VA eligibility.
They have a good compliment of staff and support staff. I have known
a few VA chaplains in my time good folks. (I also knew a VA Doc, and
again top notch)
And because you are using a federal system you are limited on tort options.
What you highlighted is a very huge disparity between the normal
system most everyone has to use and the federal system that the
eligible few get to use.
Blessings on the fact that you are eligible to use the VA and
do. Some of my memebrs use it and are very pleased.

What do you mean "minimal?" Do you mean few in number? If so,
how many are there, and how do you know?
All other hospitals that you or I would normally use have no
federal guidelines.
I don't "normally" use any hospital beyond a VA hospital.
Can you get treated at a VA hospital or a military hospital on a
routine basis?
Yes. In fact, I do.
Also note they have very limited tort options.
What do you mean "very limited?" Why do you believe the FTCA
doesn't provide most claimants with reasonable, if not complete, tort relief?
There exists an entire infrastructure within the VA, and a
number of outside non-profit orgs, to help people with claims to file them.

I'm on the case, from outer space!
OK
