Default Health Care Options

Is anyone in forum being treated by a VA Hospital for ALS? I worried cause I may not get the same care or testing to rule out as if I was at an ALS Clinic. Right now I only have Medicare and VA health care benefits, and we all know how great medicare beneifts are and how everytime they are used you get a nice fat bill. I have not yet been dx but watched as a child when my grandfather died from Atypical ALS, as well as the beginning symptom of my mothers boyfriend Bruce, who later died of ALS like symptoms.
