Perhaps the largest issue after negligent care of veterans is determination of disability (ratings). This is woefully behind and is the source of the FBI investigation.

I guarantee you that Congress will not give private physicians the legal authority to determine disability ratings.

The VA is, in my opinion, intentionally behind BECAUSE a rating means extra money that the government either has to send to veterans or that veterans don’t have to pay in taxes.

Follow the money.

Next scandal...it will take a few months for it to surface. As most scripts are 90 days. DOD MANDATED 4/14/2014 that ALL TRICARE LIFE Retired over 65 Military use Express Scripts or Base dispensary for their daily meds. Cumbersome process. 2 weeks for ES for order or reorder. Base fills what they have, but reorders come out of Pensacola, FL for our region in TN. ES will switch your DAW script for a generic. And keep switching generics for cheaper ones. Drugs such as Synthroid is a ‘small window’ drug, and the generic is crap not enough of the hormone. Result Osteoporosis and other thyroid caused issues. It is a very important hormone, much more so than HRT’s. Synthroid

There has got to be a money trail, ES has defrauded the tax payer out of hundreds of millions of dollars. Not to mention the bad service. Your meds are stuffed into your mail box by USPS UNSIGNED FOR. Available to kids, teens, and drug thieves.

“Dems attack Romney for backing healthcare vouchers for veterans” (2011)
Democrats are blasting GOP presidential front-runner Mitt Romney for proposing to give veterans a healthcare voucher that critics say would undermine the Veterans Affairs system.

Romney introduced the idea Friday at a South Carolina campaign event. He said a voucher would give veterans more choices and force the government to compete with the private sector.

Romney’s campaign said the candidate was simply discussing ideas at the event, not laying out new policy proposals. The campaign also pointed out that the Obama administration in 2009 proposed to bill veterans’ private insurance companies for combat-related injuries, before withdrawing the idea within 48 hours in the face of stark opposition from veterans groups.
