I've never been in this building, but I have seen more than one military hospital that looked and smelled like the men's room at a bus station. And yes, this is our future under HillaryCare. Except, does anyone really think Hillary and the other elites will use the same hospitals as the rest of us?
One of the happiest days of my life was when I got out of the Navy and got private health insurance. Picking my own doctor and hospital, getting an appointment without going through hoops and waiting weeks or months, clean, up to date facilities with the latest equipment--it was an amazing treat. Remember that Walter Reed and Bethesda are the showplaces, where the political elites go to get treated and get their photo ops with the wounded troops. The facilities in the hinterlands are not nearly so nice. If the building the article discusses is away from the main areas where reporters and politicians gather, I wouldn't be surprised if it's in bad shape.
And even though it may be the WaPo trying to make the Bush administration look bad, if bad press gets somebody on the stick to fix the building for our troops, then it's a good thing.
I am on the "Left Coast", never been to Walter Reed. I have had the occasion to utilize the VA facilities near here (Pettus Memorial) in Loma Linda, California. Those facilities were quite impressive, immaculate I might state. Using that experience I simply cannot imagine Walter Reed in the condition reported.
