Link? Or is this another proclamation you pulled out of your ass?

 

[Auld Phart]

The government should take control of all our health care.

That worked well for the Indians, didn't it?

Why is this guy even using thenVA ? He was in the military 50 years ago and wasn't injured as part of his service .Kaisen served in the U.S. Navy from 1958 to 1962, working on the USS Denebola, a ship that delivered refrigerated items and equipment to ships in the fleet, his friend said. According to Farley, Kaisen was severely injured in a car accident while working as an officer for the Long Beach Police Department in the late 60's. After that, he was disabled, Farley said, and had been on constant medication since."

The VA has multiple healthcare enrollment Priority Groups.

http://www.va.gov/healthbenefits/resources/priority_groups.asp

Educate yourself.

The VA reviews each veteran's status, relative to these Priority Groups, annually; on the anniversary date of their original application or enrollment.

Congress sometimes votes to fund all Priority Groups, and sometimes they vote only to fund the lower-numbered ones; although funding has been available for all, for years.

Well the va needs to downsize cause they can't handle it .

There's no reason a dude who was in the military 50 years ago , and wasn't injured , should be using the va .

If they guy worked his like as a police officer, why didn't he have insurance ?? That doesn't make sense . Was he just going to the va because it was cheaper?

If you are a vet you can choose to use your Medicare or the VA. Looks like he made the wrong choice!

Whether this man was a veteran or not I think this nonsense has to stop. Veterans, seniors, and children should have top priority without question.

$50 billion should be diverted from the defense budget and used to completely overhaul and upgrade all the Veterans hospitals, computers, and phone services entirely. None of these people, not one, should ever have a question about having to wait in line for healthcare. Jesus H if a society refuses to care for the very people that physically offered their lives in defense of the country what kind of society is that? They shouldn't have minimum healthcare they should have the best there is. The best psychiatrists as well. I think something like 15 a day commit suicide? There is nothing partisan about this, goddamn Congress should pass 435 to nothing and 100 to nothing MORE money than the Veterans administration needs right now! Who exactly among the American population would be against this? Nobody.

Next, seniors, people that worked their whole lives and paid into social security and built the country should also not have to beg for benefits or wait years for them.

Lastly, there shouldn't be a single child that has to go hungry in the wealthiest nation human beings have ever produced, a nation that throws away more food than many nations even consume.

These the most vulnerable should be priority one for every body. Once they are taken care of there can be arguments made about welfare, or how much aid able bodied people 18-50 can get, or whatever else would be in a budget. You'd think these wouldn't be issues in a country where so many call it a 'Christian nation'. Fine call it what you will, let's help the vulnerable and then argue about the rest if need be.

Obama has the same regard for Vets as he has for Black people.

Maybe, just maybe the VA needs to rethink their priorities.

The Vets should be given vouchers and be able to seek the medical care they need where ever they want to.

What has Obama done for the VA?
Other than reinstating the suspended execs from the last scandal and give them huge bonuses.

Why did Obama reinstate every exec responsible for the last VA scandal?
