If the vet doesn't have any choice as to where he receives treatment, this plan boils down to nothing more than, "I'll make the DMV less bureaucratic!"
Under a Trump Administration, all veterans eligible for VA health care can bring their veteran's ID card to any doctor or care facility that accepts Medicare to get the care they need immediately.Watch the VA hospitals shape up real quick.
WHEN I see it, then I will believe it. My years of dealing with VA have shown me that the one thing you have to have is a long patience because it takes forever to get anything done or accomplished by them. My first time around, right after I retired, I appealed their disability rating I got. It took FIVE, yes 5, Five, five, FIVE, YEARS for that appeal to make its way through the system to the appeals board in Sodom on the Potomac. And when I won, of course I did not get my disability back payed to when I got my disability, no it started when the board approved my appeal. So, VA got away with not paying me the new disability rating for all those five years.
The thing about Trump is he wants to do it, he wants Vets treated and cared for properly. Trump will adjust his plan if it doesn’t accomplish the results he is after to give Vets the best care and eliminate the problems, waste and inefficiency. Trump is a solutions guy not a politician who is more concerned about his public image than actually fixing the problem.
Then I hope you see it, I hope we all do. That will mean Donald Trump is president, and he's being successful at it.
The current man in charge said there are 2,600 people he wants to fire but can’t because of the rules, etc. So they sit around and draw their pay while doing nothing. It’s better they do nothing than keep screwing vets over.
Many providers will not accept vets because it’s too hard to get paid.
I’ve been treated outside the VA system twice and I had to help them get paid. Now, with that said, it was their fault. When I checked in I gave them the address where to send the bill and how to bill it. They were too stupid to follow my directions. Eventually they listened to what I had to say and got paid within two weeks.
But they see it as a simple fact that they won’t get paid.
I have looked at trump’s alleged solutions, and instead of real market reforms, he is basically trying big government “solutions” that are implemented drop the top, down.
This is familiar to him. He’s a crony capitalist, and he’s made a bunch of money as a crony capitlost. He took a fortune of some tens, or perhaps hundreds of millions of dollars from his father and turned it into as much as $4 billion. Crony capitalism has treated him very well.
On the other hand, you’re arguing that if his statist “solutions” don’t work, he’ll keep trying until he finds something that does work.
That’s an assertion that you are inferring from his alleged business success.
But the evidence is that when something doest work for him, he disengages. He walks away.
Besides his four bankruptcies, he’s had many smaller businesses from which he’s walked away. Starting with his four bankruptcies, he’s walked away from Atlantic city. He says he got out before Atlantic City became unprofitable. But it’s still profitable. There are other casino and hotels operators there still making money. There is increased competition. It is harder to make money. Operating margins are slimmer. But some operators still make money. But trump, instead of figuring out how to fix the businesses in Atlantic City, ultimately walked away from them. As well as smaller ventures such as trump steaks, trump mortgages, trump vodka, and trump: the game.
That’s all right. As a busunessman, you might try a number of ventures, and onl y stick with the ones that work out. trump has done that well. He has taken a formidable fortune from his father and kept pace with that fortune probably a little faster t h an inflation. Many come into large fortunes and squander them. trump has not. He will pass a larger fortune to his children than he received from his parents.
But in government, walking away may not be a viable option. At least if you’re not going to leave the people hanging.
In private business, if you walk away, you may directly affect some laid-off workers you may stiff some contractors, some bond holers, but the damage is limited.
In government, if you walk away, you may affect hundreds of thousands, or millions. Or even all of us.
Notafter the wall is built! Then there will be lots of room for AMERICANS!
Wow!!! Look at the size of that crowd, for Trump!
I’d imagine over half of them are vets....God bless ‘em, all...and God bless Trump!!
You sound like an Occupooper.
We get that you have nothing but disdain for Trump, but coming on here and projecting your “crony capitalist” BS completely degrades and diminishes ANY argument you might have had.
Trump is the ONLY candidate leading the way to help...with a SOLID plan...our dear vets. For you to mock THIS plan, of all things, is beyond despicable.
Your *facts* are completely unfounded and are nothing but the typical DU drivel posted by leftists, on conservative forums.
When the crap is cut out of the multi bureaucracies smothering Washington, there will be plenty of money without tax increases. He has already said certain bureaucracies will be closed. that will be good news!
Very nice.
Your alleged opinion or du talking points or whatever anti-Trump bilge you routinely spout is meaningless on this thread. You’re not what this thread is about.
This thread is about honoring a promise to the nation’s veterans and providing them the timely quality care they’ve earned.
I doubt, given your biased bs, that anybody cares what you think.
That’s a silly non sequiter.
Perhaps you haven’t been paying attention for the last six and a half years, but crony capitalism is what this is regime is all about. Solyndra, GM, Chrysler, Porkulus, etc.
Or perhaps you approve of this sort of “economic stimulus.”
Make an argument, not a rant.
trump’s plans aren’t going to do much. Veterans will still be suffering after he puts his “solutions” into action. Deal with it.
Like I said, no one cares what you think. You’re meaningless. Get over yourself.
Or perhaps you approve of this sort of “economic stimulus.â€
Evidently, you do. As I said, you sound like an Occupooper with your complete BS in calling Trump a “crony capitalist” and dissing his wonderful VA plan.
Look, we know you don’t actually take the time to read Trump’s plans...you only have time to jump on Trump threads and berate the man and his well thought out, highly touted plans.
No one cares what you say on these threads, anyhow....so, there’s that.
