In short, this is exactly why we don't want government bureaucrats anywhere near healthcare.
If they can't even take care of a group of veterans, over which the government has complete control, then what will they do to the rest of us? In spite of any platitudes from the VA, this cancellation came about due to petty jealously and over control of money. "Contract violations" are the excuse, and were crafted into rules as a gotcha.
Bureaucrats do NOT care about anyone outside their own little circle.
An excellent example of genetic research, and a plea to keep those systems running and updated.
More important, consider what happens when the faceless bureaucrats in DC get control over your life.
The government IS the problem, not the solution.
What IS a Gulf War illness?
This latest abandonment of our brave patriots comes a few months after trying to get vets to pay for their own combat injuries (while going to the mat to give gold-plated health care to illegals)! Barry hates the current military and wants to build up his own civilian force - funded as well as the military.
That’s a shame.
I would have liked to know what the researchers found about squalene, considering it’s been newly approved for pandemic use in the H1N1 vaccine.
I agree with your criticism of bureaucracy and petty jealousies. In this case I suspect politics was also involved considering that Texas and DFW are strong conservative/Republican areas.
However, I think emphasis on pesticides more so than the battlefield related agents, more specifically nerve gas (after all, we found 500 artillery shells with serin gas in them), has some political envirowhacko smell to it. I remember the DDT fiasco and the outlawing of almost all pesticides at one time. In fact, that gave rise to the Organic craze.
What was the final decision on Agent Orange in the Vietnam War?
