We should all be outraged at the way the Veteran's Administration is treating our vets... delaying treatment, hiding lists, cutting benefits. These men and women served our country; whether not we agree with the battles they fought, they fought and they put their lives on the line for us. For us to now turn our collective backs on them in their times of need is unconscionable.
Having said that, what we are discovering portends where we are going with ObamaCare. Just look at what people are discovering right now: what they thought they were covered for, they are not; they can't see their doctor because he's either retired or not "on the plan;" the available hospital is full; they're too old to be having this type of surgery. If it is already that bad, how long will it take before the providers and hospitals have their own "hidden lists?"
ObamaCare is to a large extent modeled after the V.A. If you can live with this, if you can allow your parents to die on the vine because they can't get care or afford the deductibles, if you are willing to see your child suffer in pain because he or she can't get treatment right now when it's needed... then you come from a wholly different way of thinking than I do.
We're allowing our veterans to be screwed and we're setting ourselves up to be screwed. If we really want to do something about it, we have a whole bunch of politicians to turn out of office in November.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
