Ask the patients at the VA about medical test. Those poor guys who were told they had a death sentence only to find out later it was an error.

What will happen is they will attach the diagnosis of some AIDS infected crack whore to your name and social and they will put you on all kinds of unnecessary drugs when all you really had was a hangnail.

It seems that the level of incompetence of the federal government is growing at an alarming rate.....ObaRahma seem to honor ineptitude and corruption and treachery..we are in the best of hands with the ObaRahma government.

wonderful .. just wonderful
it’s okay because the new “environmental czar”
the guy who went to jail twice himself and is a self admitted communist

Might as well start padding the payroll now ...

Felons have big screen TVs, free meals, free healthcare, free housing, etc.
The government spends more on Felons’ lifestyle than I spend on mine.
