If the government can't provide decent healthcare for our veterans then; HOW IN THE HELL CAN WE LET THEM RUN OUR HEALTH CARE SYSTEM?

I've saids this many times ... and you might not get it, but you go not me and look for your self then come back here and point out how fucking stupid you are for us...

for the health care system for our veterans to work they need money... its that simple .. follow the money... what you will find is one party, and one party alone, who says you're not patrotic if you don't wear a flag pin, and are always spouting the phraze, "support the troops" .. its that party who has voted down every request for money to run those VA hospitals to pay for their health care... for you to sit and rant about how government can't do anything right, again go and look for your self why did that government plan fail ... heres' what you will find out ... they failed because one party cut their funds to run it properly or that same party deregulated it ... causing it to fail ... programs fail because they are either deregulated or their funds are remove ... its that simple ...it has nothing to do with how it is run.. so you go and look up and find out what party caused their failures ...

as for the people running I suspect they were doing their best they could with the money they had or the regulations they had to follow ./.. go and look up why??? then come back here and tell us what a dumb fuck you are...

We have been afforded the gift of a glimpse into the future. What is happening to the veterans will happen to everyone when, not if, we get single payer in this country.

Amid contrived outrage over Benghazi and the improving fortunes of its healthcare reform, the Obama administration could be facing a genuine scandal about its treatment of military veterans that has the potential to attract broad political condemnation of its competence.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is facing mounting evidence that some of the hospitals it runs have been keeping two sets of books to make it look as if they were reducing waiting times to see a doctor.

More damning, the department is investigating the claims of a whistleblower doctor in Arizona that dozens of patients at one hospital died while they were languishing on a hidden waiting list without ever being given an appointment.
Richard Griffin, the department’s acting inspector general, admitted on Thursday that its review could lead to criminal charges. In the first political casualty of the scandal, Robert Petzel, the department’s undersecretary for heath, resigned on Friday.
If the evidence of mismanagement continues to accumulate, the Obama administration will find itself not in another partisan knife-fight, but under fire from both parties in a Congress where the uniformed military is venerated.

The veterans’ healthcare scandal is, in part, one of the unintended consequences of the wars in Afghanistan in Iraq, which have created “our 9/11 generation who have served with honour in more than a decade of war,” as President Barack Obama described them on Thursday.
More than 970,000 veterans from those wars have filed disability claims, taking the total enrolled in the VA system to 8.57m by the end of 2012.
At the same time, the healthcare system is dealing with the fact that many of the 6m veterans from the Vietnam era are now reaching the age when they start to require a lot of medical services. In 2010, the administration expanded coverage to exposure from Agent Orange, the chemical used during the war in Vietnam, prompting another surge of claimants.

so with all your wisdom, or lack their of, as we all know you can't answer a question truthfully ... so I'll ask you once again ... when the congress had a bill sent to them by the senate to raise the money for VA by 2 billion dollars, to take care of these vets ... all we heard from the congress was whose going to pay for this 2 billion dollar tax increase ... this was asked by the the VA ... tell us why the house never brought it to the floor with all you wisdom all we ever saw come to the floor was to repeal obama care 50 times but not once did we see any kind of tax increase for the vets ...and now we have our vets sitting in their coffins ready for the ground ... good going to the ones who wouldn't bring it to the floor... cause they support the troops
