Been there: I worked at vas 20 years ago and have patients that go there now. The va system can provide excellent care but there are compromises:you must sometimes wait to be seen, the drug formulary is limited (but free!), and you may see different doctors at visits. Nonetheless there are excellent doctors there and if you get one you like, you're golden!

On the upswing: This is an exciting time to be part of the VA system. They have always had quaternary care teaching hospital physician faculty available for patient care. Given the huge bolus of veterans returning, additional efforts are being made to optimize veteran-centered care. Undersecretary Clancy has been very aggressive with this.
