Based on a news report that I saw this afternoon (link attached at botom), I have to REALLY wonder what is going on in Trump's head. It seems now, his leading choice for the VA is to put Sarah Palin in charge.
Considering that she's shown a very tenuous grasp of issues, as evidenced by her VP run, do you really want her in charge of your health care?
I don't.
Sarah Palin Under Consideration for VA Secretary
You're funny as hell. You want to complain about Palin possibly getting the job and you have no idea if she'll do a good job but you're silent about the shit job barry did helping veterans.![]()
Actually, when Obama became aware of the problem, he got rid of the VA secretary responsible and got a new one. Speaking as someone who actually uses the VA, after that happened, the services improved a great deal. Same with them issuing cards that allow veterans to use civilian medical facilities if the VA cannot fit them in within 30 days of request.
Matter of fact, the last time I had a physical, they told me that if I wanted, I could go to a civilian doctor because it was going to take them over 30 days to schedule me because they were still hiring new doctors. I told them there was no problem, and that because it was routine, I wasn't concerned and didn't mind waiting.
And now that it's starting to work better, you really think that a clueless person like Palin should be in charge of keeping it going in the right direction?
I don't. And part of it is the way she handled the care of rape victims as governor of AK.
He got a new one that continued with the same old practices.
Actually, no they didn't. The same old practices would have been to keep people waiting. After the dustup in Phoenix, about 4 months later the VA sent me a card with a letter attached telling me that if I ever had to make an appointment and it took over 30 days, I could use that card to make an appointment with a civilian doctor, or if I lived over 50 miles away from a VA facility, the card would allow me to use a civilian doctor then as well.
And.......like I said........my last physical with the VA, I was afforded that choice because they didn't have enough doctors yet, as they had started hiring more, and it would take over 30 days for me to see the VA. I chose to wait, because number one, it's a routine physical, and number two, I wanted to keep my medical records together in one place.
