VA is servicing illegals before Vets

[ThisIsMe]

You have been duped again, the VA is not providing any medical services, they are merely processing claims so that private physicians that did work get reimbursed by the Govt

Yeah, but not really duped because he/she was posting in response to a poster who was praising the fact that an illegal was seen before a service member. So it doesn’t matter if the story is a lie, the idea behind it is apparently celebrated by the left. Illegals over veterans…hmmm…

 

[Concerned American]

Really? What about your own citizens in need of a procedure who gets bumped in line for someone who entered the country illegally? You’re not helping them are you? In fact, you are harming them..so, who should get treatment in that situation? The citizen who pays taxes into your economy, who has worked all their life and paid into the system, the citizen who joined your military and potentially put their life on the line for your country, or someone who crossed your borders illegally last week?

Canada is worse. You might very likely die waiting for care in their overburdened socialist system. But the duck and Turdeau would have you believe it is just hunky dory.

As noted above several times

That’s not what is happening

Hey asshole

It DOES matter if the story is a lie

 

[Lesh]

What ever gave you the idea I supported this crap. I am totally opposed to what has happened to the VA since Biden and the democraps took over. I thought that was pretty clear. Now Gulping Gator and White 6 might be happy with it, but they are both drinking the democrap kool aid.

Also as noted… this has been the procedure for 20 years

They are using VA resources to process healthcare claims for illegal aliens while there is an unacceptable back log of Veteran claims.

Document that this supposed backlog has anything to do with lack of clerical staff.

And then tell us why it only matters to you now and not once during the past two decades that it was occurring…

 

[TheYellowKing]

In fact I probably will and it will be according to need of new migrants to Canada. Our priorities are to help people, rather than harm them.

Your country offered to kill veterans instead of building them wheelchair ramps

Stfu

You are not getting my point dumb ass and I have been bitching about the state of the VA for the past 20 years moron. I'm a vet and I come from a military family. I'm not a partisan hack like yourself I don't give a shit who is in office when it comes to Veteran care.

And then there is the real story...

VA's role in migrant medical care draws scrutiny from advocates as border crisis intensifies

A long-standing arrangement between ICE and the VA is worrying veterans' advocates, who are concerned that it could be having a knock-on effect on veteran care.

www.foxnews.com

When an illegal immigrant under ICE detention requires healthcare, they are typically treated on-site by medical professionals. However, if specialist or emergency care is required, they may be transported to an independent private provider.

In such cases, ICE contracts with the VA’s Financial Service Center (VA-FSC) to process reimbursements to those providers. According to a report from July, ICE has hundreds of letters of understanding in which ICE’s Health Service Corps (IHSC) will reimburse providers at Medicare rates. That uses the VA-FSC’s Healthcare Claims Processing System — a portal that allows providers to submit and view claims and access other resources.

The arrangement long predates the Biden administration. It was outlined in a 2020 memo during the Trump administration, and the VA told Fox News Digital that it has an interagency agreement with the IHSC since 2002 to provide processing. The agency stressed that it is not the VA that either provides healthcare or pays for it.

"VA does not provide or fund any health care services to individuals detained in [ICE] custody. At no time are any VA health care professionals or VA funds used for this purpose," VA press secretary Terrence Hayes told Fox News Digital. "[IHSC] provides and pays for all health care services for individuals detained in its custody."

Nonsense.

The VA is not providing such healthcare.

The VA is not paying for such healthcare.

-------

All the VA is doing is helping ICE process reimbursements to independent healthcare providers OUTSIDE the VA.

------

The money is NOT coming from the VA nor is the modest additional processing workload impacting veteran care in the slightest.

This was an interagency accommodation first set into motion in 2020 by the Trump Administration and is just now coming to light.

Why is ICE leaning on the VA for help with paying independent providers for medical care for detainees?

Because ICE has no large-scale nationwide network of independent healthcare providers nor the claim and payment processing resources.

So the Trump administration decided to use an underutilized resource within the VA to help with that... actually, a good decision for once.

No big deal.

MEH.

Dog bites Man.

Thanks for repeating what was in the post you responded to.

Well except the part you got wrong, it has been going on since 2002 according to the VA

 

[Kondor3]

We need an influx of new people. We don't really reproduce at a high enough rate to pay for all the benefits older people get.

It's time to send Illegal Aliens back where they came from... likely to happen after January 20, 2025.

I made a mistake.

I was responding to the OP.

I have no idea what-the-hell I clicked on to reference your subsequent post.

Sorry.

It's early... I'm still pounding down my first cup of coffee for the morning... that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Over 161,000 procedures for illegals last year, not sure about this year so far.

Yeah 81,000,000 votes to replace blacks with Illegals and have VA treat Illegals over our Vets.

Sureeeeeeeeee

 

[Harpy Eagle]

eah 81,000,000 votes to replace blacks with Illegals and have VA treat Illegals over our Vets.

The VA is not treating illegals, you were lied to and are too fucking stupid/lazy to check for yourself.

 

[Kondor3]

...Our priorities are to help people, rather than harm them.

Good.

Then the US should scoop-up all of the 20,000,000 Illegal Aliens who have crossed our borders lately...

And dump them all on your side of the border...

Like so many Blue (Democratic Party) -run decaying northern American cities that have declared themselves Sanctuaries...

We'll see how "generous" you feel after you're choking on "new arrivals to Canada" for a year or two and your resources are exhausted...

 

[CrusaderFrank]

You should be happy about this as screwing over veterans is a core principle of your party

You mean the democrat Party, right?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

So the VA didn't treat any Illegals?

NYC isn't putting Illegals into Manhattan hotels?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

They did not. They processed claims for the IHCS, the same thing they have been doing since 2002.

NYC isn't putting Illegals into Manhattan hotels?

I have no idea, I do not live in NY so I could not care less what they are doing.

 

[candycorn]

Over 161,000 procedures for illegals last year, not sure about this year so far.

On an emergency basis, they have to see whomever is presented. I’m not sure if the VA’s have emergency care centers though.

At any rate, the story is probably bullshit if they are stating that the VA is seeing patients who are not veterans on a regular basis considering what we had to do to get my father into the VA. They are incredibly thorough and officious.
