That’s interesting being that Obama had 8 years to do something about it and didn’t. Hopefully Trump will make this next on his agenda.

if you want to know what single payer and socialism looks like, go to a VA hospital or Indian Res.

Maybe the VA was doing vets a favor by stringing out that next appointment a few months.

"VA illegally hiring doctors with revoked licenses" masks another problem which is; "VA legally hiring doctors who aren't particularly good."

It would be better and probably cheaper to give vets carte blanche private healthcare.

“Shocker”, eh? For the US military, this has been SOP for decades. It’s one of the reasons that I got out of the Navy and have nothing to do with the VA to this day. I can’t trust them to not kill me through ignorance or malpractice.

I knew of an occupational therapist who had been fired twice and then hired by the VA. I was astounded.

YOU CAN’T FIRE A GOVERNMENT UNION WORKER! THIS ROT HAS BEEN GOING ON LONGER THAN 15 YRS. IT GOES FROM ADMINISTRATION DOWN TO THE JANITOR.

LAWSUITS ARE BEING FILED FOR BAD CARE, WITHDRAWAL OF PAIN MEDS. NO ONE IS REPORTING THE 24 VETERAN DEATHS DAILY. NOR HOW MANY ARE FROM SUICIDE BECAUSE THE ONLY TREATMENT MANY HAVE IS PAIN MEDS. MANY ARE WHEELCHAIR OR BED RIDDEN.

WE ARE BOYCOTTING THE KNEELERS. WE TELL THEM TO STAND IN FRONT OF OUR TROOPS.

WHY ARE WE NOT STANDING IN FRONT OF OUR VETERANS? 2% OR LESS JOIN THE MILITARY. ISN’T IT OUR PATRIOTIC DUTY TO STAND UP FOR THEM? THEIR HEALTH CARE IS NOT AN ENTITLEMENT, IT WAS EARNED.

I’m the wife of a Ret. 20 yr Career SCPO, I stand with our VETERANS and TROOPS! Will YOU?

VETERANS AND CIVILIANS WELCOME TO HELP THEM FIGHT BACK.

VETS & CIVILIANS FIGHT BACK
