The VA Lied , Veterans Died

[LogikAndReazon]

In April, retiring Veterans Administration physician Sam Foote told CNN that the Phoenix VA had a secretive practice of fudging numbers regarding the average wait time for ailing vets to receive medical attention. Rather than the 14-30 days the “official” list cited, over 1,000 sick veterans were forced to wait up to 21 months, leading to an estimated 40 presumably preventable deaths.

It turned into a full-blown government scandal last week as the Department of Veterans Affairs’ undersecretary for health resigned a day after appearing before a Senate hearing. Reports of falsified VA medical documents began leaking in Illinois, New Mexico, Georgia, Florida, Missouri, Pennsylvania, and Texas.

This should give all Americans great hope for the bright, deadly future of government sponsored healthcare.

The VA is not Universal Single-payer, and it's not funded properly either, hence these kinds of issues.

Al Qaeda prisoners at GITMO get better care than the VA gives our veterans.

Here’s another secret the White House doesn’t want you to know about the VA. Al Qaeda detainees get better medical treatment than our veterans.

Say what?

Yes, it’s true. I know because I served as a Pentagon spokesman from 2005-2009 and visited Guantanamo Bay Naval Base over 30 times during those years.

Despite the fact that Al Qaeda terrorists carried out the Sept. 11 terror attacks, killing 3,000 people in America, the admitted co-conspirators and their roughly 150 fellow jihadists at Gitmo have approximately 100 doctors, nurses and health care personnel assigned to them.

Doctors and medical personnel are at their beck and call. Got a cold, a fever, a toothache, a tumor, chest or back pain, mental health issues, PTSD? No problem, come right on in. Military doctors are waiting to see you.

The VA and Gitmo eligible patient-to-health care provider ratios speak volumes.

While the Gitmo ratio is 1.5 to 1, for America’s 9 million veterans receiving VA health care and 267,930 VA employees, the ratio is 35 to 1.

Better funding will make that kind of thing possible. See how that works?

Ah....thats because them jihadists are all just poor, peaceful, innocent, civilians caught up in the wrong place and time by overzealous US imperialist bullies..... Lol

And that matters to this issue how exactly? Oh right, not at all, as usual.

The irony of your name is remarkable.

If Congress had let Obama close Guantanamo that wouldn't be a problem.

200,000 dead Americans in one year because of substandard care in American hospitals. Your point is?

Link?

 

[boedicca]

The VA receives funding of more than $10,000 per year per vet.

They could buy better insurance on the private market (or, at least they could have before ObamaCare ruined that market). It would be better to give them vouchers and let them purchase their own coverage.

And the death rate increases as government gains more and more control over the health care industry...just as our levels of actual LEARNING have declined due to the federalization of public education.

If you weren't such a DOLT, you'd see the causality.

That throws Paintmyhouse's claim of "under funding" in the shitter.

 

[LogikAndReazon]

Single payer ???

Lets take a good communist bet...

The "rich" and greedy corporatons supply the free and universal....and civil servants determine whom the most needy benefactors should be....

 

[LogikAndReazon]

More funding and more qualified civil servants are clearly whats needed.... Lol

 

[JakeStarkey]

Military and VA health care is generally better than private health care.

Nearly 30 thousand people alone die from infections that could have been prevented in private hospitals.

Guys, if you try the OP's approach, you are already losing.
