Well more than a year after the scandal broke about the rotten service at V.A. hospitals and when Obama and his new V.A. Secretary, Robert McDonald, promised the nation to get the problems fixed, things have gotten much worse according to a report on TOWNHALL.COM.
"The number of veterans seeking health care but ending up on waiting lists of one month or more is 50 percent higher now than it was a year ago when a scandal over false records and long wait times wracked the Department of Veterans Affairs, THE NEW YORK TIMES reported.
"The VA also faces a budget shortfall of nearly $3 billion, the Times reported in a story posted online ahead of its Sunday editions. The agency is considering furloughs, hiring freezes and other significant moves to reduce the gap, the newspaper reported." That's a terrific way ti improve service...
As is typical with Obama and all of his cronies, no one is accepting responsibility for the increase in waiting times; they're blaming "more patients."
"And perhaps the most alarming revelation from the new wait time information? The VA, aka government healthcare run by bureaucrats, is actively determining who does and does not receive proper care through rationing and yes, death panels."
Seniors in this country should be prepared to face the same increase in wait times for services, overall declining services and "death panels..." another one of the many broken promises Obama has thrust upon Americans. After all, you will recall, when Obama was originally out there campaigning to sell ObamaCare, he was saying how it would be modeled after the V.A. system.
In the meanwhile, vets who have returned home from the battlefield are getting more lip service and less health service from the V.A.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
