Ping!
You would think that ObamaCare, aka, the affordable care act would cover this. As a disabled veteran myself, I received official letters stating that I was automatically enrolled in the Affordable Care Act, and Medicare, and had to take no action courtesy of the VA. The VA made this possible by acting as an agent for the government enrolling those who met the criteria. Based on my experience, this poor guy should be covered for medical costs. If in fact there is a hardship due to overpayment, the VA has the power to recognize his hardship and accept their loss.
With government
It’s rarely malice
and almost always stupidity.
Somebody f***ed up the paperwork.

If I was triple amputee, and I knew this story had gotten out via FreeRepublic, and maybe other outlets ... I would be EXPECTING THE CAVALRY !
This guy had better NOT be George Zimmermaned ... meaning ... screaming for help and no one actually came TO help, but a bunch'a people KNEW.
Hang in there, Airman Brian
I don't buy it.
Didn’t say everything, just this VA f***-up.
Please, someone convince me the NSA spying is benevolent.
Please.
the VA has the power to recognize his hardship and accept their loss.
Good luck with that.
What they eventually told me was, “when you die,
we will collect that 95 dollars from your estate.
But hey, I’ll be dead, so I got that going for me.
That is all.
With the Obama Administration it is probably malice. Stupidity is random. It effects people regardless of their views. With the Obama Administration it only the good people who speak out who get attacked by the government. The IRS is a good case in point.
I’ve been to the VA, and I told folks that if you want gov’t healthcare, look at the $hitty service at the VA. My visits were some of the most disgusting and insulting times in my life. My solution, as a former combat vet, is to get rid of the VA, and let veterans have free, yes FREE, healthcare through a private doctor, paid for by the gov’t. The VA is just another bureaucracy in the government that is over-funded, and under performing. Any gov’t bureau can and will be used politically, so let’s shut it down - along with the NSA, IRS, EPA, FDA, and everyone of those boondoggles being used against the people of the US.
$4,825....sh*t, that’s how much the VA spends on an unauthorized portrait of some foreign doctor they hired after her work visa was extended......
Historically, taxing authorities have always personified malice.

Agreed.
Never attribute to stupidity that which can just as easily be construed as malice.
Everybody share this via email, Facebook etc.
