Would i be terribly impolite to point out that at the same time these vets who had earned the right to health care through service to their country were denied treatment, the Obama administration squandered close to 2 BILLION dollars just on non functional Federal and State web sites and another 645 million dollars in advertising in an unsuccessful attempt to get people to sign up for the crappy health care plans that people don't want.
Not to mention the fast tracking of the treasonous Bradley Manning's taxpayer funded sex change operation while he is incarcerated in Leavenworth

If Shinseki had any integrity, he would have already resigned.

And leftists point to the VA healthcare system as something the entire nation should copy under Single Payer.

The new meme will be “This all started under Bush. So it isn’t Obama’s fault at all.”
Give it time.

These are the same type of MURDER-by-NEGLECT
the EXEMPT have now begun to deliver to all Americans
(except the EXEMPT, THEIR families, and Moslems, of course).
To: Jet Jaguar
Shinseki, Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary and devout Democrat, criticized the Bush administration when he was Army Chief of Staff. Hence, he has been anointed to sainthood by liberals and progressives.
Don’t expect calls from him to step down as these delays and mishaps will be par for the coarse under Obamacare.

Those delays, at least in my area, have been going on for years. None of my relatives[Uncles] who served in WWII would go to the VA for treatment. And I heard other former Service Men saying how bad it was also. But , by the same token, a few, said that they got good treatment. Their response was, “Consider yourself lucky”.

Another thing the VA is now doing is prescribing more and more drugs without testing.

Since so many VA deaths have occurred due to Arizona VA Hospital waiting list procedures, would it be proper that former Vet, and current US Senator John McCain immediately resign from the US Senate?

Can some legal type individual answer the following questions:
1. Was an illegal act perpetrated?
2. Can this construed as negligent manslaughter?
3. If prosecuted would this be in Federal Courts and or
State and County courts.
4. Since top managers received bonus money based on
falsified wait times times are they guilty of theft,
fraud and or embezzlement?
