This makes me furious. The VA has been famous, or should I say infamous, for keeping vets for long, long periods of time even after they are treated. NOW, they’re not treating many of them at all.
God help all vets.
the VA does not, (like the military does), consider its front line clinical workers as the key to the Mission. The military has supportive services, but all relate to the front line who have target on the enemy and are the key enforcers, ultimate enforcers, of the Mission.
while the military has its own issues with beauracracy it is nothing like the VA which is govt run through and through and easily can be adrift from its Mission: to provide access to quality care for our veterans. Thus you have a bulging top heavy upper management that is far removed from the Mission’s implementation and is an oligarchy unto itself within the govt.
Gov’t healthcare.
hey obama, is this Bush’s fault? you gd, mf, lyin pos
Been saying for years, Obamacare will make the VA health care system look like the Mayo Clinic.
THis typical, hidden story does not change that.
It’s been going on there for decades. It’s out now to make things look wrse than BO care.
what’s the difference between them? Nothing. Government health care.
Duh.
Oh... the VA has doctors.
Michelle has her grubby paws into the VA now. She’s all over talking about getting Vets jobs.
Whatever she’s up to, this came up pretty coincidentally. oh, along with a letter stating that id you have VA health care, you don’y have to fill out the yearly paper work, the IRS will check your income and report it to the VA and prove your eligibility.
Privacy? who cares when there’s stuff?
Communism anyone?
In fairness I want to put in a good word about the VA Health Center (hospital) in La Jolla (San Diego). I have been going there for treatment for 4 months and have been given timely appointments most of the time. In addition they are to be commended for their usual courtesy. There is room for improvement there too, especially in efficiency, but it’s apparent that not all VA hospitals are the same.
So glad that the brave Dr. Sam Foote waited until after he had “just retired” to blow the whistle.
WTF! BTTT!
Drag them into the streets and set them on fire. Then burn their homes to the ground. Put it all on YouTube.
I go to the VA. It’s a great place to get meds. But don’t get real sick.
