You brought up knees. If one went thru MEPS, and took an Airborne physical, where a high school sport torn ACL was noted, but they let him go anyway and their knee got progressively worse - later in life, he would have a paper trail to point at. WRT Arthritis - in this example they would probably assess a secondary or tertiary claim for ankle/knee/hip arthritis.

It could be earlier too.

That could actually work more in his favor. Under 38 CFR § 3.306, “a preexisting injury or disease will be considered to have been aggravated by active military, naval, or air service, where there is an increase in disability during such service, unless there is a specific finding that the increase in disability is due to the natural progress of the disease.”

. . . taking notes :)

Or, for the sake of the Christmas season, and to celebrate the end of DZ.com, our fellow dz.commers could refrain from PA's to prevent you from having to do even more work. It's a thought. We could all walk away from here with fond memories of each other or a so glad that shit is over thought. Ya know, Primacy/Recency.

I'm glad your process works for you, Joe.

Sounds like you got it all figured out.
-
Well, I can tell you this. I have experience with both, you do not, so my bullshit trumps yours.

Medicare doesn’t require a primary care physician and there are no referrals required to see a specialist - however the specialist usually requires one. Within the VA, the PCP is the pivot point. I hurt my foot, I see him, he refers me to an orthopod in the VA, if it's greater than 30 days out, it shifts to CinC.

Never once has my top choice not accepted Part B and my supplement and I've never been denied or delayed. ~post #191

I have both VA and Medicare. They're both the same.
-
Medicare and the VA system are both examples of single-payer health coverage. They're both funded by the federal government. Single Payer and Universal Healthcare can be somewhat conflated. The single payer means there's just a single entity paying for medical care for some. Universal Healthcare - means that ALL Americans have coverage, whether through public or private systems, or both. So, before you get too snarky, the goal is NOT single payer for some, but universal care for all. I'm thinking you don't get Universal Healthcare. Or. is that not your goal.

I do not, but if the left pays attention, when the pendulum swings back . . . they have a model to frame up.

Hold on. It helps to actually read the article past the headline and not embrace the noise. Beginning around 2016, there was a shift from the backlog of trying to keep everything in-house at the VA. That's what was caused veterans to die. Congress opened the purse and gave the VA a directive to do "Care in the Community" to alleviate some of the issues. Your VA PCP recommends a specialst, the PCP sends it over to CinC, they coordinate with a local specialist, it gets done. It went well, kind of a FEMA model of approving funds for others to take care of the problem. After losing so many VA Doctors to higher pay in the community, the question became, why does the VA have its own healthcare system - why not "just" use CinC. There's an evaluation going on of cutting the budget and just doing CinC. No reason to be duplicitous. Fact is - this would be an even better model for the consideration of Universal Healthcare.

Whatever happened to __________ Ex Speaker's Corner Regulars
BIGUN replied to DJL's topic in Speakers Corner
JR came back Ron stops in on occasion Brent is in a time out. PS dz.com has been sold. Be well -
I don't know, Marc. Just repeating what HH said here: https://www.dropzone.com/forums/topic/289186-dropzonecom-sold/?tab=comments#comment-5046005

Sounds like it's really not going to matter since a "non-skydiving" entity has purchased the domain. Be well.

I've been thinking about this for awhile and it sounds like there's a timeline getting close. For those considering it; there are ~42K followers on the Dropzone.com facebook page. There is a way to automatically push a new post from a phpBB forum to a Facebook page. One needs to set up a custom integration using a PHP script that leverages the Facebook Graph API to post new forum topics to your Facebook page whenever a new post is created on the phpBB board. This would generate traffic (the FB hasn't been posted to in a long while). That _could_ increase ad revenue from both sites. IMO; if the goal is to preserve and amplify the existing dz.com site - strip out some of the noise (DB, SC, bonfire, etc.) so the site generates skydiving activity on both sites again.
-
You have a sudden urge to lick your balls when you were done eating?
-
He did. My suspicion is that's operating cost sans profit. Ad revenue would be up to a new owner for profit. The important part of the offer would be the active user metrics.

HH Thank you for so many years of being able to not only connect with my fellow skydivers, but to communicate with them in a group. I have developed new lifelong friendships from here. I wish you well in your future endeavors.
