40 U.S. veterans die while on Phoenix VA hospital's cost-cutting secret wait list: report
New York Daily News ^ | 24 April 2014 | Melanie Greenwood

Posted on 04/24/2014 5:05:25 PM PDT by maine-iac7

The “sham list” was part of an elaborate scheme by top-level management to doctor patient wait times, CNN reports. Patients had to wait as long as 20 weeks to see primary care physicians despite some having life-threatening conditions, including Thomas Breen, a Navy vet who died of Stage 4 bladder cancer.

Take it viral folks. If they treat - and kill - our vets like this...we won't be far behind.

Kill this snake now, or prepare to get bit - you and/or yours

I just saw this on Greta. I was shocked to hear it. Forty men dead, unbelievable. I’d revote every doctor’s license who had anything to do with that secret list.

exactly -

we kill this snake now or we will get bit. I wouldn't be shocked to learn that this set up already written into that 30,000 page, 7 foot tall behemoth called AHC - if not, it will be - after all, they're arbitrarily adding to it, changing it, every day.

Since when is it legal to just add too or take away from a LAW without the consent of CONGRESS, the law-making branch of gov’t?

If that practice is allowed to stand, then there is no need for laws - isn't that anarchy?

Some mention death panels but this sounds more like a death squad from the numbers involved.

Fewer docotors , fewer hospitals, no choices even if you had the money for services.
And with centralized Government bureaucratic control of Health Care you expected better ??
This will be the new 'norm' for the future.
Delay , delay , obviscate , deny , delay , lie ,hide the list.
Just another United Nations "AGENDA 21" program for 'sustainable growth' by culling the health care 'needy' population.

got that right - re Agenda 21 -

part of the program.

I have a friend, a fellow columnist, and dyed in the wool Conservative, who wrote in his column today at the demRat’s platform included “sustainable communities” and then remarked: “Whatever those are. I don't know”

You can bet he knows now. He got an email with a crash course.

And the worst part ? The VA “Manager” of this shop of horrors got a $9,000 bonus for “efficiency”. I think a bonus of roughly $420 dollars would have been more appropriate: the spot price for 20 pieces of silver. . .

The regime ain’t worried.

If the kiddies start to get uneasy over grandpa’s premature demise, they’ll hand out some Groupons for student loan forgiveness.

I'd like to see consequences for everyone from the top on down - EVEN for employees who know what is going on - know that people are DYING because of it - and do not disclose it.

sin by omission -

maine-iac7:"got that right - re Agenda 21 -

You wont hear even the Liberal media or press address the UN "AGENDA 21 " program because they feel they are needed
and are part of the "new intelligensia" , and will be spared any harm. They forget history !

Look at what AGENDA 21 has done to New England fishery fleets
Look at what NOAA did under Lubchenko, to South Atlantic bottom fishery, where they closed the fishery
... and hadn't even done any study either before , or after , the closure . They did it because .. they could !
NOAA was directed in Congressional committee to "not use approved agency funds" to impose the "CATCH SHARES" program,
and they did it anyway ..because they could !
The Bundy farm in Nevada, and the Dann Sisters Shoshnie ($0.15 per acre) Native Americans is another Agenda 21 government land grab ..because they could !!
Almost everything that says "SUSTAINABLE " is AGENDA 21 issue.
Look around you before we all wake up in 900 sq.ft. "sustainable" apartments, with "EnergyStar" appliances (that report via radio waves)energy usage ,
and you will be charged and taxed according to "sustainable" variable off-peak/ on-peak usage
and if you produce power back to the grid , you will still be taxed on that power that you put back into the system.
AGENDA 21 isn't just a Socialist theory - It's already here !!
Just open your eyes ,..and open your mind !!

Post #14 had pretty much to do with those things that you might be familiar with due to your geography.
Anything "SUSTAINABLE " is usually related to the United Nations "Agenda 21" Socialist program .
It's even in the local unelected zone usage committies
or sustainable housing, or utilities .
Most people aren't bothered by these committies as they are innoculous , and quiet, and subtle , ..but they exist !
Should I put on my tinfoil hat on now , .. because its real, and not part of " The Matrix " . ?!!

yes, it's here - even in small towns - but not many recognize it for what it is.

I only know one other person, other than myself, for example, that told the meter man to take his “SMART” meter and leave the property.

He tried to argue but I curtly told him we weren’t having a conversation - just leave.

I pay a $12 fine each month - so I make out 2 checks each month. One marked electric bill, one marked “for fine”. They don't like that it. It's not a fine, they say, it's a fee.

I told them a fee is something you pay for something you USE. I don't USE their spy meter. So it's a FINE.

maine-iac7:".. told the meter man to take his “SMART” meter and leave the property."

List it on your annual IRS tax report as a "tax" which is already paid .
The "tax" is the price to pay for 'privacy' which is not known elsewhere !
Well worth it, and keeping the "SMART meter" from knowing your commings and goings.
Too much information is being given up online, already.
You have to 'draw the line in the sand ', somewhere .
