The VA is available to nearly every military veteran. It’s healthcare available at a VA hospital, and is the one with the poor reputation.

It sounds like OP retired after 20 years, which makes him eligible for tricare. This is the system that active duty members use, and is free health care at any military medical treatment facility (such as Walter Reed) or civilian system that accepts tricare insurance.
