Altogether, 40 VA hospitals and clinics across the U.S. and Puerto Rico were found to be “zeroing out” wait times
The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) is home to the United States' largest integrated health care system consisting of 152 medical centers. In addition, there are nearly 800 community-based outpatient clinics, 126 nursing home care units and 35 domiciliaries.
So you have to wait you learn in the military it always Hurry up and Wait.. honestly who hasn't waited for an appointment.. if its an emergency you go to the emergency room... not any easier than that |
"I have had no issues "
Hmm, how to break this to you...your experience doesn't necessarily reflect the experience of everyone else. For example, I didn't get hit by a drunk driver yesterday. Does that mean that drunk driving is a manufactured issue? Does that sound like sound logic to you?
"I just see this as another Manufactured issue from the right "
Well, that explains why the right-wing nut named Barack Obama, is quoted in the right-wing website called The Huffington Post, as saying there actually is an issue.

"who hasn't waited for an appointment"
People have died while waiting. If that's not an issue for you, you have the right to not care about that. Lots of people, on both sides, are outraged.
Another article from the right-wing network called CNN...
http://www.cnn.com/2014/04/23/health...ays/index.html
From the article..."The secret list was part of an elaborate scheme designed by Veterans Affairs managers in Phoenix who were trying to hide that 1,400 to 1,600 sick veterans were forced to wait months to see a doctor"
And somehow, the Secretary of Vets Affairs say that this practice is no more of a blemish to his organization than ride lines are at Disney.
