 You can fight their fascist wars, but they sure as hell won�t
fight for you�re freedoms or you�re right to decent health care!
  
  
� Lies About VA Reform Come to Light ::
  
 Sharon Helman, director of the Phoenix VA Health Care System in which
vets needing medical care languished on secret lists, finally got sacked
last week. She was the face of the VA scandal.
  
Yet firing her took seven months.
  
 Unions have the Department of Veterans Affairs in a headlock, and nothing
in the phony reform law passed by Congress last August changed that. Nearly
all managers guilty of manipulating waiting lists, lying to vets and covering
up are still getting paid. They have their jobs, or they�re collecting paid
leave, or they retired with full benefits ahead of the ax. As for vets getting
their promised Choice cards to escape wait lists and see a civilian doctor,
don�t hold your breath.
  
 A whistle blower exposed the dirty tricks at the Phoenix VA last April,
forcing Congress to deal with a problem it had allowed to fester for a decade.
Earlier investigations had uncovered how managers manipulated waiting lists
to make themselves look good and collect bonuses, while vets suffered. But
few members of Congress bothered to read those earlier reports.
  
 Last May, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., offered a bill enabling the VA secretary
to fire senior managers linked to the secret lists. Rubio said the secretary
has to be able to �fire executives underneath him if they haven�t done their
job.� But Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., a self-described socialist whose top
campaign contributors are unions, killed the bill. Sanders insisted on protecting
�due process� rules that make firing federal workers as hard as firing incompetent
public school teachers.
  
 Three months later, Congress passed the Veterans Access, Choice and Accountability
Act with bipartisan fanfare. The bill�s backers, including Sanders, promised it
would allow the VA secretary to hold corrupt senior executives accountable. That
was a lie from Day One, but since few members of Congress read that bill before
voting on it, how would they know?
  
 The truth came to light on November 13 during a heated interrogation of VA
Deputy Director Sloan Gibson by the House Committee on Veterans Affairs.
  
 Committee Chair Jeff Miller, R-Fla., said he was �perplexed and disappointed�
at the lack of change in VA personnel. Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick, D-Ariz., called it
�outrageous that Sharon Helman is still collecting her salary of $170,000 after
being put on administrative leave in May.� Kirkpatrick said she wanted Helman
fired immediately.
  
 That�s when Gibson broke the bad news that the new law doesn�t make it easier
to fire corrupt executives. �Any removal must still meet stringent evidentiary
standards and provide due process.� Otherwise, cautioned Gibson, the U.S. Merit
Systems Protection Board (which protects lack of merit in every federal department)
will overturn the firing, reinstate the employee and award back pay and legal fees.
  
 Miller then demanded to know why corrupt employees can retire with all the
�whistles and bells.� Gibson answered that the new law doesn�t remedy that either.
  
 So far, only three senior executives have been fired despite corruption in at
least a dozen facilities. James Talton, former director of the Central Alabama
VA, was terminated on October 24 for falsifying wait times and tolerating other
abuses. Hundreds of patient X-rays were lost, and a pulmonologist copied old test
results into patients� records to avoid performing new tests. Talton�s boss,
Charles Sepich, announced his own retirement last week.
  
 The second to go was Terry Gerigk Wolf, director of the Pittsburgh VA, who was
accused of concealing the presence of Legionella bacteria in the hospital�s
water supply. Six vets died. At the hearing, Congressman Tim Murphy, R-Pa.,
called it �indefensible� that Wolf�s deputy was recently promoted to head the
Erie VA, proving that �if you hide information, and even though people die,
you�re going to get promoted.�
  
 What ails the VA infects the entire federal bureaucracy. Firing a federal employee
is almost impossible, and making it stick is even harder. There are 4,000 employees
now on paid administrative leave, vacationing while the government struggles with
�the bad performance protection board.�
  
 But at the VA, bad performance costs vets their lives. The new law required that
vets be given Choice cards by November 5. No surprise. Only about one-tenth of
the cards have been mailed, prolonging the deadly wait.

� OUTRAGE! VA Stripping Vets of the Right to Purchase and Own Guns ::
  
 Tens of millions of Americans were outraged earlier this year when news
broke that Veterans Administration hospitals were deleting veterans�
records and failing to schedule them for needed medical appointments in
order to appear as though they were fixing a horrible backlog of patients
who had yet to be seen.
  
 Then-VA Secretary Eric Shinseki, a retired US Army four-star general,
was sacked over the scandal, and President Obama pledged to fix the system
- one he knew back in 2008, during his first presidential campaign, was
badly broken.
  
VA has arbitrarily deprived many Veterans of their Second Amendment rights.
  
 But that is far from the only outrage committed against veterans. As reported
by WorldNetDaily in 2013, many have been deprived of their Second Amendment
rights simply because of an arbitrary decision made by VA bureaucrats:
  
 The Obama regime insists it�s routine for officials to send out letters
informing veterans that an unidentified �report� indicates they may be declared
incompetent and consequently stripped of their Second Amendment rights.
  
 Of course, this is the same administration that warned in a 2009 report that
vets returning from Iraq and Afghanistan �possess combat skills and experience
that are attractive to right-wing extremists.�
  
So much for the Fifth Amendment.
  
 The letters were being sent, ironically, during one of the administration�s
pushes for more gun control; the regime utilized the regulatory apparatus of the
VA to deny veterans their right to keep and bear arms - a constitutional right
they served and fought to protect.
  
 The letters informed vets that they could be determined to be �incompetent� to
handle their own financial affairs and thus would be assigned a financial adviser
from the VA.
  
 But the incompetence ruling was then forwarded to the FBI�s national NICS background
check system - and that automatically prevented them from being able to either purchase,
own or possess firearms.
  
 What�s more, these determinations were done arbitrarily and devoid of a clear and
open set of guidelines, rules or other criteria. In fact, such determinations avoided
Fifth Amendment �due process� guarantees, as well as any determination and adjudication
by a court of law, as required by statute.
  
 Within weeks of WND�s initial reports, veterans filed suit against the government
to stop the process. The suits were filed by the United States Justice Foundation,
a legal group dedicated to the protection of constitutional rights.
  
 �The information requested included Veterans Benefits Administration rules,
regulations and criteria for making determinations of incompetency due to a physical
or mental condition of a benefit recipient,� said Michael Connelly, executive director
of the group, in explaining that the initial suit was to request information via the
Freedom of Information Act.
  
 Copies of the rules, regulations and criteria �used by the VBA to determine that a
veteran found incompetent for any reason can be prohibited from purchasing or
possessing a firearm,� he said.
  
Determination prohibits you from owning guns.
  
 According to WND, one of the VA�s letters - received by a veteran in Oregon informing
him of a 2012 determination from the Portland VA Medical Center - said that �evidence
indicates that you are not able to handle your VA benefit payments because of a
physical or mental condition.�
  
 �We propose to rate you incompetent for VA purposes. This means we must decide if
you are able to handle your VA benefit payments. We will base our decision on all
the evidence we already have including any other evidence you sent to us,� the letter
continued.
  
 The determination meant that the VA would provide a �fiduciary� to manage the vet�s
payments.
  
 Then the letter warned: �A determination of incompetency will prohibit you from
purchasing, possessing, receiving, or transporting a firearm or ammunition. If you
knowingly violate any of these prohibitions, you may be fined, imprisoned, or both.�

� VA Incompetence Wastes Millions, Vets Obamacared ::
  
 Even as hundreds of thousands of veterans wait weeks for a doctor�s
appointment, the Veterans Health Administration is on track to mismanage
hundreds of millions of dollars over the next five years, according to
a government oversight report.
  
http://www.va.gov/oig/pubs/VAOIG-12-02576-30.pdf
  
 The report estimates that the VHA will inappropriately spend $159
million annually or $795 million over the next five years by doing
things like not seeking out the best price for contracts. This comes
on the heels of a USA Today investigation that found that over 600,000
veterans are waiting more than a month for appointments at VA hospitals
and clinics.

� VA Clinic�s Automated Phone System Hasn�t Been Working For Weeks ::
  
 For the past two weeks, some veterans have been complaining that
they have been unable to schedule medical appointments at a busy
Veterans Administration (VA) outpatient clinic in Hackensack, New
Jersey, The Public Record has learned.
  
 The problem? The automated phone system veterans� dial into disconnects
their calls when they are prompted to press a digit in order to connect
with the right office.
  
 �Every time I call I get disconnected. I have diabetes and started a
new medicine three week ago and have not been feeling right, but when
I call I can�t even as much as talk to a nurse. I just get disconnected
when I call for assistance. I can�t believe this!� said one veteran,
who requested anonymity because he fears VA officials would destroy
his paperwork if he reveals his identity.
  
http://pubrecord.org/nation/11290/clinic-discovered-veterans-havent/
  
 An internal audit conducted by the VA�s watchdog concluded that there
were widespread problems at VA clinics around the country that saw
employees manipulating schedules, concealing delays in medical care
and maintaining secret lists.
  
http://www.va.gov/health/docs/VAAccessAuditFindingsReport.pdf
  
 That includes the VA�s New Jersey Healthcare System, which, according to
a chart created by USA Today, based on the VA statistics, found that 8.6
percent of the employees there were told falsify appointment data.

� Veterans Detail VA Hospital Problems ::
  
 Veterans cried about how they were treated, worried whether they
would live to see Christmas and reported identity mix-ups that had
nurses mismatching drugs at the VA hospital in Nashville, which has
some of the nation�s longest wait times to see doctors.
  
 These were the stories Juan Morales, director of the Tennessee Valley
Healthcare System for the US Department of Veterans Affairs, heard
during a town hall meeting Monday afternoon. About 90 people filled a
small room, holding up their hands and waiting for a chance to speak.
Their list of complaints was long, ranging from reports of administrative
staff ignoring them while talking on cellphones to grievances about
doctors abruptly canceling appointments or misdiagnosing illnesses.
  
 The meeting was the third of four briefings Morales has scheduled with
veterans in the wake of a congressional investigation about delays veterans
faced nationwide trying to see doctors. While established patients in
Middle Tennessee had an average wait time of three days, according to
a government audit, veterans needing to see a specialist didn�t get in
the door for 71 days on average. Those were veterans primarily needing
to see ophthalmologists, podiatrists and pain specialists.
  
 The wait time for a new patient to see a specialist now averages 61 days,
Morales said.
  
 But an established patient from Goodlettsville is also concerned about
wait times. Robert Morgan worries he has cancer that won�t get diagnosed
and treated soon enough. After he complained of stomach pain and bathroom
problems, he said, it took a month to get a CT scan when nodules were found
in his kidneys and liver. He said he thinks he may have colon cancer that
has metastasized.
  
'Not expeditious'
  
 �They said I needed another CT scan, which was scheduled for two weeks later,�
Morgan said. �Trust me, that�s not expeditious. I�ll die, and the reason I�ll
die is because I don�t receive timely care. There are a lot of guys in this
room who are sicker than me, and it will probably happen to them, too.�
  
Morales said he would have a staff member check on the situation.
  
 �I�d appreciate it if you�d do something, because I�d like to be here come
Christmas,� Morgan answered. �Right now, I don�t think I�m gonna be.�
  
 Misty Hollars told how she could not get her father, Miles Hollars, transferred
from a hospital in Franklin, Ky., to the VA hospital in Nashville. The family
had to go to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, she said, asking whether the
VA system would cover that hospital bill.
  
 Roger Morris of Clarksville brought with him the names of the nurses he said
put him into a �bloody bed,� neglected to put an identifying wristband on him
and then got the identities of patients mixed up and brought them the wrong
medications.
  
�Wrong medications can kill somebody,� Morris said. �Do you understand me, sir?�
  
 He said he asked to be discharged so he could go to another hospital, and the
nurse took his bloody IV tube out and laid it on a food tray.
  
�Can you explain that, sir?� Morris asked.
  
 Morales apologized and promised to investigate, saying, �First of all, I�m
sorry for the experience you had. If that�s what happened, that�s not acceptable.�
  
'Stellar expert care'
  
 Jim Haggar said he had received �stellar expert care� recently at the Nashville
VA hospital and had never seen �a cleaner hospital room in my life.�
  
 �I just want to make sure the people who do a fantastic job are getting a little
bit of notice as well,� he said.
  
 But Haggar did suggest that the VA outsource hospitality training for its front
-line staff, with the goal of making them as customer-centric as people who work
at the Cleveland Clinic.
  
 Morales said the Nashville hospital was adding staff after receiving federal
approval to bring on an additional 323 personnel and build space for more
examination rooms. He said the area�s expanding population had made it difficult
to meet the growing demand for care. He admitted that it might be difficult to
fill some sub-specialty positions, such as pain physicians.
  
 �It takes time to recruit,� he said. �We want to hire the right staff for our
veterans.�

� Services for Female Veterans Fall Short ::
  
 The Veterans Affairs Department and other government agencies are not doing
enough to help women who served in the military, even as their number is rising
dramatically, according to a new report.
  
 The report, released Wednesday by the Disabled American Veterans, identified
serious gender gaps in virtually every program serving veterans, including health
care, job training, finance, housing, social issues and combatting sexual assault.
  
 The advocacy group�s report blamed most of the deficiencies on a disregard
for the needs of female veterans, saying the VA and other agencies focus on
�the 80 percent solution for men who dominate (veterans affairs) in both numbers
and public consciousness.�
  
 A sharp increase in reporting of military sexual trauma is an illustration of
problems that require �radical change� at the VA and throughout the military,
the report says.
  
 �At a time when the number of women veterans is growing to unprecedented levels,
our country is simply not doing enough to meet their health, social and economic
needs,� said Joy Ilem, DAV�s deputy national legislative director. Female veterans
�deserve equal respect, consideration and care as the men who served, yet the
support systems are ill-equipped to meet the unique needs of the brave women who
have defended our country,� she said.
  
 The DAV report closely tracks an Associated Press review in June that found
serious shortcomings in how the VA cares for female veterans returning from
Iraq and Afghanistan, many of them of child-bearing age.
  
 The AP review found that nearly one in four VA hospitals does not have a fulltime
gynecologist on staff, and that 140 of the 920 community-based clinics serving
veterans in rural areas do not have a designated women�s health provider, despite
a goal that all clinics have one.
  
 Female veterans of child-bearing age were far more likely to be given medications
that can cause birth defects than were women being treated through a private doctor,
the AP found.
  
 The VA cared for about 390,000 female veterans last year at its hospitals and
clinics � far fewer than the 5.3 million male veterans who used the VA system in
fiscal year 2013. But the number of women receiving care at VA has more than
doubled since 2000. The tens of thousands of predominantly young, female veterans
returning home have dramatically changed the VA�s patient load, and the system has
yet to fully catch up.
  
 While the number of male veterans is expected to decline by 2020, the number of
female veterans is expected to grow dramatically, to 11 percent of the veteran
population, the report said.
  
 Dr. Carolyn Clancy, the VA�s acting undersecretary for health, said the VA will
consider all of the report�s 27 recommendations on topics including health care,
education, job training and sexual assault.
  
 The report will serve �as our road map for improvements,� Clancy told a gathering
of female veterans and their supporters at the Capitol on Wednesday. The VA is working
to ensure that all clinics and hospitals have a women�s health provider onsite, she
said, adding the agency makes referrals to private providers in cases where none is
available at the VA.
  
 �We�ve made some great progress,� Clancy said in an interview. �Certainly the
awareness (of women�s issues) is way up. It�s certainly a priority.�

� Whistleblowers Flood VA With Lawsuits ::
  
 An apology from a senior VA official earlier this month
failed to prevent a spate of employment-related federal
lawsuits from former employees who claim they faced
retaliation after lodging workplace complaints, a review
of court records shows.
  
 The complaints include the case of a former staff psychologist
in South Dakota who says she was punished for calling attention
to building problems that were making people physically ill.
  
 In another case, a patient safety manager in Texas says he
was suspended after raising concerns about a staffing shortage
in his department, all while being the target of racial slurs.
  
 It�s unclear whether the unfolding VA scandal will result in
an uptick in lawsuits and the prospect of expensive legal
judgments or settlements. But the half-dozen recent cases
reviewed by The Washington Times almost certainly represent
a tiny fraction of overall workplace complaints the agency
is facing.

� Dear US Soldiers And Veterans ; Avoid The Following
Hospitals Like The Plague ::
  
The VA scandal was just the beginning.
  
 According to Internal documents obtained by New York Times,
US military healthcare is "a system in which scrutiny is
sporadic and avoidable errors are chronic." As the NYT
reports In Military Care, a Pattern of Errors but Not
Scrutiny, "the military system has consistently had higher
than expected rates of harm and complications in two central
parts of its business � maternity care and surgery."
  
Among the findings:
  
� More than 50,000 babies are born at military hospitals each
year, and they are twice as likely to be injured during
delivery as newborns nationwide, the most recent statistics
show. And their mothers were more likely to hemorrhage after
childbirth than mothers at civilian hospitals, according to
a 2012 analysis conducted for the Pentagon.
  
� In surgery, half of the system�s 16 largest hospitals
had higher than expected rates of complications over a
recent 12-month period, the American College of Surgeons
found last year. Four of the busiest hospitals have performed
poorly on that metric year after year.
  
Hospitals with high rates of surgical complications:
  
� Madigan Army Medical Center
� San Antonio Army Medical Center
� Naval Medical Center San Diego
� Mike O'Callaghan Federal Medical Center
� Portsmouth Naval Hospital
� Womack Army Medical Center
� Fort Belvoir Community Hospital
� Evans Army Community Hospital

 The problems at Veterans Affairs extend well beyond long
wait lists, with a report Tuesday showing the department is
plagued with poor care that has cost up to 1,000 veterans
their lives and left taxpayers on the hook for nearly $1
billion in malpractice settlements since the beginning of
the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. ... ...
  
 But Mr. Coburn traced the problem to bad management and lax
working standards, not to lack of money. In one finding, he
said VA doctors average about half the workload that private
-practice primary care physicians do, suggesting there is
room for them to take more patients.
  
Among his other findings:
  
 � Female patients received unnecessary pelvic and breast exams
from a sex offender.
  
 � Delays are endemic. In addition to care waiting lists, the
VA is behind on processing disability claims and constructing
facilities.
  
 � Some VA health care providers have lost their medical licenses,
but the VA hides that information from patients.
  
 � The federal government has paid out $845 million for VA medical
malpractice settlements since 2001.

 Pauline DeWenter, a scheduling clerk for the Phoenix VA Health
Care System, told The Arizona Republic that someone at the VA
tried to cover up the deaths of the vets by altering computer
forms. DeWenter said that she originally typed the word �deceased�
on the form explaining why an appointment for the vet never
happened. When inspectors checked the form during their
investigation, they found that the �deceased� designation�
was replaced with �entered in error� and that an appointment
was �no longer needed.�
  
 �I�m a bad person,� DeWenter told The Republic. �My hands were

for appearing to meet goals to reduce delays in patient care.
At the Phoenix medical center, the bonuses totaled more than

 Chicago police shot a 95-year-old WWII veteran to death with
bean bag rounds at close range because he refused to go to
hospital, a lawsuit brought by the man�s family claims.
  
 The incident, which occurred on July 26 last year, involved
John Wrana, Jr, a resident at Park Forest Assisted Living Center
in Park Forest, Illinois.
  
 Wrana, who was just 12 days shy of his 96th birthday, was
suffering from a suspected urinary tract infection. However,
when Victory Center employees attempted to persuade Wrana to
get in an ambulance and go to hospital, he refused to leave his
room. Wrana subsequently brandished a knife and a long shoehorn
in an attempt to resist paramedics.
  
 Five police officers, Clifford Butz, Michael Baugh, Craig Taylor,
Lloyd Elliot, Charlie Hoskins and Mitch Greer, were called to the
scene before Commander Michael Baugh ordered force to be used
against Wrana.
  
 On entering the room and missing with a Taser dart, Taylor fired
�five rounds of bean bag cartridges from a 12 gauge shotgun within
a distance of approximately only six to eight feet from Mr. Wrana,
far less than the distance allowed for discharging that shotgun,
and, consequently, savagely wounding and killing Mr. Wrana,�
according to the lawsuit.

a priority, but saving the planet is Job 1. Solar panels and
windmills can be more important than the touch of a healing
hand.
  
 The department early on set up an Office of Green Management
Programs designed to �help VA facilities nationwide recognize
opportunities to green VA, and to reward innovative �green�
practices and efforts by individual facilities and staff within
the VA.� This sometimes means paying more attention to greening
the department and saving the polar ice caps than to health care.
  
 In the department�s words, it adopted a far more important
mission to �become more energy efficient and sustainable, focusing
primarily on renewable energy, energy and water efficiency,
[carbon-dioxide] emissions reduction, and sustainable buildings.�
  
 The green office isn�t merely a desk and telephone tucked away
in the dark corner of a nondescript government building. It�s a
substantial undertaking, with all the luxury, bells and whistles
of a bureaucracy that means business. Eric K. Shinseki, who
resigned as secretary in the wake of the VA scandal of the sin
of omission, traveled the country to boast of the green initiative.
In one instance, he traveled to Massachusetts to flick the switch
at a half-million-dollar windmill project at the Massachusetts
National Cemetery. �Nationally,� he said, �VA continues to expand
its investment in renewable sources of energy to promote our
nation�s energy independence, save taxpayer dollars, and improve
care for our veterans and their families.

 Multiple internal investigations by the inspector

within 14 days. In reality, veterans at many hospitals
throughout the country were waiting months to see doctors.
Hospital administrators� bonuses and promotions were tied
to their ability to hit the 14-day target.

� 100,000 Veterans Face Long Waits to See VA Doctors ::
  
 Some 100,000 veterans across the country are waiting
long periods to see doctors, according to an internal
Department of Veterans Affairs audit released Monday.
  
 The VA says it already has contacted 50,000 veterans
trying to get them quicker medical care.
  
 A total of 57,436 veterans across the country have waited
90 days to see a doctor and still did not have an
appointment as of May 15, the VA said. The agency also
found evidence that in the past 10 years, nearly 64,000
veterans who sought VA care were simply never seen by
a doctor.

 The problems with delayed care and unauthorized wait

said in letters to two US senators.
  
 The Department of Veterans Affairs maintained 10 such
�secret waiting lists� of military veterans in need of
care at facilities in Kansas, Missouri, Illinois and
Indiana, the letters said. They also said at least 96
veterans waited more than 90 days for treatment at seven
facilities in those states, including 26 in St. Louis
and 19 in Columbia, Missouri.

� Texas VA Run Like a �Crime Syndicate,� Whistleblower Says ::
  
 Last week, President Obama pledged to address allegations
of corruption and dangerous inefficiencies in the veterans�
health-care system. But before the president could deliver
on his pledge, the scandal has spread even further. New
whistleblower testimony and internal documents implicate
an award-winning VA hospital in Texas in widespread wrongdoing
�and what appears to be systemic fraud.
  
 Emails and VA memos obtained exclusively by The Daily Beast
provide what is among the most comprehensive accounts yet of
how high-level VA hospital employees conspired to game the
system. It shows not only how they manipulated hospital wait
lists but why�to cover up the weeks and months veterans spent
waiting for needed medical care. If those lag times had been
revealed, it would have threatened the executives� bonus pay.
  
 What�s worse, the documents show the wrongdoing going unpunished
for years, even after it was repeatedly reported to local and
national VA authorities. That indicates a new troubling angle
to the VA scandal: that the much touted investigations may be
incapable of finding violations that are hiding in plain sight.  
  
 �For lack of a better term, you�ve got an organized crime
syndicate,� a whistleblower who works in the Texas VA told
The Daily Beast. �People up on top are suddenly afraid they
may actually be prosecuted and they�re pressuring the little
guys down below to cover it all up.�
  
 �I see it in the executives� eyes,� the whistleblower added.
�They are worried.�
  
 The current VA scandal broke in Phoenix last month, when a
former doctor at a VA hospital there became the first whistleblower
to gain national attention. The doctor�s allegations of falsified
appointments�and veterans dying while they waited for treatment
�unleashed a wave of similar claims from VA employees nationwide.
In Cheyenne, Wyoming, Chicago, and Albuquerque, more VA
whistleblowers came forward claiming that the same fraudulent
scheduling was being used in the hospitals where they worked.
At last count, the VA inspector general�s investigation had
expanded to 26 separate facilities.
  
 The torrent of claims led to Senate hearings, calls for VA
Secretary Eric Shinseki to resign, multiple investigations
and President Obama�s own public statement last week. Paul
Rieckhoff, founder and chief executive officer of Iraq and
Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA), believes that even
more revelations are coming.
  
 �This newest case just further illustrates that the scandal
is much more far reaching than most people realize,� Rieckhoff
said, �Phoenix was just the tip of the iceberg. Scandal has
become the new normal, it�s the status quo at the VA right now.�
  
 But, despite the political uproar and the growing investigations,
the root causes of the VA crisis have remained murky. New
documents and whistleblower testimony obtained by The Daily
Beast shed light on exactly how fraud is being perpetrated
in the VA and its underlying causes.
  
 There�s enormous pressure to report favorable wait times for
VA patients, the Texas whistleblower explained, even if those
wait times are completely false.

� Veterans Know �Obamacare� Because They Already
Have It ... and It SUCKS! ::
            �������������
 By now, the slow-motion train wreck that is Obamacare
has been well documented, as new revelations about the
law become known to the public. From antiquated technology
to cost uncertainty to not keeping your doctor, the reality
of government-mandated health care is smacking Americans
in the face.
  
 But for America�s war veterans, this is all old news. If
you�re looking for an even more damning glimpse of
Obamacare�s future, ask a military veteran about their
experiences with the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
You will not find their responses reassuring. ... ...
  
 When their benefit claims are stymied by the VA�s Kafkaesque
bureaucracy, veterans often recite a mordantly cynical refrain:
�Delay, deny, wait till I die.�
