From the Republican Jewish Coalition newsletter: "Long wait times, deaths caused by delays in tests and treatments, false record-keeping, and national outrage. That is the story of the Veterans Administration's failure to provide appropriate care for our nation's veterans."
After the first revelations about veterans' deaths and hidden waiting lists in Phoenix, information has come out about secret waiting lists, purged records, and more deaths in many places, including New Mexico, Colorado, Texas, California, Florida, North Carolina, and West Virginia. At this time, 26 VA facilities are under investigation by the Office of Inspector General at the Veterans Affairs Department.
This is one [and so far only one] scandal that has hit the nerve of both Republicans and Democrats. Rep John Barrow, D-GA, said "this administration has fallen short in providing the kind of care that our veterans have earned," The Washington Post reports.
"Rep. David Scott, D-Ga., said he was "very disappointed" with Obama's remarks."There was no urgency," said Scott, one of two Democrats who have called for Shinseki to resign. "Mr. President, we need urgency."
There is no doubt that the Veterans Administration health care administered to veteran's is complete government control [in essence a single payer system-where the single payer is the federal government]. From the Veterans Administration web site: The "VA operates the nation's largest integrated health care system, with more than 1,700 hospitals, clinics, community living centers, domiciliaries, readjustment counseling centers, and other facilities."
