It’s been six months since President Obama vowed there would be major changes to the Department of Veterans Affairs.
A new VA Secretary is on the job and has said he plans to fire up to 1,000 people in the agency and hire nearly 30,000 medical professionals.
But Pete Hegseth, CEO of Concerned Veterans for America, explained this morning that when it comes to long wait times for a doctor’s appointment, nothing has changed. […]
… The head of the Phoenix VA, where the whole scandal started earlier this year, is still on paid administrative leave.
“No justice, no accountability for someone who was hiding wait times and veterans died while they waited on that list,” said Hegseth. …

Why would it?
Next thing you’ll tell me is that citizens emails and phone records are still being tracked despite the leaks by Snowden.
Yeah?
Imagine how the parents of Brian Terry feel.

There has never been an efficient government run health care system. Why would the VA be any different?
Maybe not, but Obama’s people mean well. It’s just that stuff interferes with Obama’s golf game.
Because these VA officials manipulated the wait lists to obtain bonuses, that in my book should constitute criminal fraud. Where is the US District Attorney and why hasn’t this been referred to a grand jury? Have any of these people been fired?...I doubt it.
The answer is simple.
Change your status from Veteran to illegal alien, umm, dreamer, uhh, or whatever today’s term is, and the floodgate of bennies will open up!
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Of course something has changed. 10 months have gone by. So now we can claim “old news”. Simple solution to a difficult problem. Works every time.
I did not think anything would change.
They have armed guards at the VA Hospital. They have armed guards at the VA administrative office. Why should they care? They can do whatever they want and call the armed guards if you complain.
Is this a government “of the people”? Is this a government “by the people”? Is this a government “for the people”?
This is a government for government employees and the Democrat Party.
VA doesn't even answer to a Federal Court order.
During that time, they were using hundreds of workers to work on their own union stuff.
All Congress does is appt. a committe to investigate and they talk until the next crisis when another committee is appointed to talk, and they talk, talk, talk from crisis to crisis and NEVER do anything.
Just curious to know the longest wait a Congresscritter ever had to collect its pension. Not longer than 30 days I would warrant.
