Republicans Need to STFU on the VA Issue...

[Seawytch]

Stop pointing fingers and trying to tar the President with this. Every time you open your fucking mouths about it, it should be to say "how do we work together to fix this"...and this is why:

U.S. Senate Republicans block veterans' health bill on budget worry

So sit down, stop trying to blame the President and either figure out ways to fix it or eat a big piece of blueberry STFU pie.

This would be the perfect opportunity to redeem the GOP.

Unfortunately the GOP thinks it's another opportunity to impeach the President.

Republicans criticized how most of Sanders‘ bill was paid for - with unspent money from the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq and the winding down of American military involvement in Afghanistan. The GOP says those are not real savings because no one expected those dollars to be spent as those wars ended.

Republicans also objected to provisions making more veterans without service-connected injuries eligible for treatment at Department of Veterans Affairs facilities. They said that would swamp an already overburdened system.

Throwing money at the problem is not the solution but that what the stupid ass Democrats always rush to do every time something like this comes up.

Republicans said there would be no retribution from voters because the Democratic bill would have harmed veterans’ services by flooding them with too many people.

Thursday’s showdown came after Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., refused to allow votes on a GOP amendment slicing the bill’s size and adding the penalties against Iran for its nuclear program.

Fifty-nine senators of both parties have sponsored a separate bill imposing the punishment if the talks fail, though Obama’s effort has weakened Democratic calls for a quick Senate vote. A vote could put the administration and some Democrats who favor the proposal in an awkward spot.

OK... so please explain this:

• 149,464,500 - Employer plans
• 66,390,642 - Medicaid
• 49,435,610 - Medicare
• 15,771,400 - Private plans
• 7,900,000 - Veterans Administration health care system had nearly enrolled as of October 2008.
• http://www.va.gov/opa/publications/factsheets/fs_department_of_veterans_affairs.pdf
• 8,300,000 - Tricare.. TriCare Information - Military Health Care
• ========

301,219,252 insured people covered under the above.

Health Insurance Coverage of the Total Population | The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation

That leaves 8,978,248 UNINSURED.....

Included in that 8,978,248 "uninsured" are:

1) 10 million counted as uninsured were NOT Citizens. So that leaves 36 million...
2) 14 million counted as uninsured BUT at their poverty level QUALIFIED FOR MEDICAID BEFORE ACA was passed. Negligence on the administration!
3) 18 million counted as uninsured that are under 34 years make over $50,000 but decline employers' health plans... WHY are they counted?

So what is the problem???

It’s one of those promises the president would probably like to forget.

In vowing to make the Veterans Administration the model of national health-care reform back in 2008, the outlook for scandal-plagued Obamacare suddenly seems even worse.

WND has discovered that during his transition into the White House in 2008-09, President Obama proposed in his “Obama-Biden” plan to “make the VA a leader of national health care reform so that veterans get the best care possible.”

Both sides should be able to come together on legislation that Strengthens the VA, but Obama still deserves a shit load of criticism for letting our veterans and country down.

In February.

In January Senate Democrats Refuse to Fund Veterans Benefits Again - GraniteGrok ? GraniteGrok

Yesterday Senate Democrats Just Blocked a Bill to Increase Accountability at the Scandal-Plagued Veterans Affairs Department
Why do they hate veterans?

More money won't fix the VA. Like all Federal Bureaucracies it's become an entity unto itself. It's primary goal and spending priority is self preservation, growth, and power.

It needs a knife through the heart and a complete rebuilding.

I'm a veteran and use the VA for all my healthcare needs. I'm also a registered Republican who served 4 years 6 months during the most controversial war in our history, was spit on, called baby killer, and generally dishonored for my service. I "keep and bear arms", and am always looking for a legal reason to blow away Liberals. just sayin......

The system is broken, more money isn't the answer.

They need to privatize the VA, give vets vouchers so they can go to any hospital or clinic they choose to get the care they need and no more "ratings list".

Stfu yourself....the vets were already dead by the time that vote occurred...

I agree that lack of funding isn't the issue here. I don't think we should entirely get rid of the VA, but I believe our vets could use some other options, and we should be able to apply measures that make the VA run more efficiently.

Republicans need to stop trying to point fingers at the President. When you have one finger pointing at someone else, there are three pointing right back at you. The GOP blocked funding. The GOP is cheerleading sequestration and austerity. These are the things that lead to problems at the VA...where, by the way, patient satisfaction is still one of the highest in the United States.

Obama stated in 2009 that since our veterans volunteered to serve, they should pay for service related injuries. He is as piece of shit that should be tried for treason. Liberals have always hated our great soldier's. Just look how most of the liberals in charge today, treated our Vietnam veterans when they came home.

Those are not the things that led to the problems at the VA.
