THIS is the government that now runs EVERYONE's healthcare? No wonder Obama is so desperate to kill babies in the womb, he won't have to waste time on them when they grow up. Obama's gotta be the biggest misanthropic scumbag to ever live.
He pales in comparison to you f'ers on the misanthropic scale.
What's the matter troll, can't stand to see "single payer healthcare" in action?
odumbo's legacy....3,000 blank pages in RED leather bound Volumes...
You are so right.....it is quite sad. The media will just ignore this and nothing will happen. We no longer have leaders with morals and courage who believe in accountability. We only have media hyped personalities who only care about those people who can give them the most money or guarantee their reelection.
All any vet needs to do is go to Mexico, cross the border, declare himself an illegal and he'll get immediate, first rate medial care at no cost. The federal government is an embarrassing disaster that we continue to fund.
It all started in 2003 when the GOP and Bush cut 14 billion from the VA (complete, indisputable FACT, btw). Its been underfunded ever since and every time the GOP gets a chance, they try and cut it again.
It is absolutely disgraceful. Especially since it was the same GOP and same POTUS Bush that sent 2.5 million service men and women to Iraq and Afganistan, increasing the number of vets in the US by around 15%.
Maybe you should call your favorite double-speaking GOP elected official and ask them what the deal is?
LOL
BUUUUUUUUUUUUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOLOLOLOL
Not a funding problem, it's a mismanagement problem. Of course, lib/progs only equate the quality of anything with the amount of our tax dollars the government spends on it.
Its not a corruption issue, you hyperbolic tool bag. Its a fundamental management issue specifically related to funding.
For instance, the VA pays doctors significantly less than private practice, therefore, they have a hard time filling frontline medical care position. The current management hasn't been able to address this and they don't have the adequate funding to do so.
You want the ICU dailies charted for patients no longer in the f'ing ICU? Then go f'ing file them yourself you meddling fwad.
There was no funding issue, sissy.
VA expects to carry over $450 million in medical-care funding from fiscal year 2014 to fiscal year 2015. VA received its full requested medical care appropriation of $54.6 billion this fiscal year, which is more than $10 billion more than it received four years ago.
This is part of an ongoing trend.
VA carried over $1.449 billion in medical-care funding from fiscal year 2010 to 2011, $1.163 billion from fiscal year 2011 to fiscal year 2012, $637 million from fiscal year 2012 to 2013, and $543 million from fiscal year 2013 to 2014.
Hahaha...THAT i BELIEVE!! Its ok when the DemocRATS pizzzzz away money or throw it at walls to see if its sticks..mismanagement is their style because they believe in FREE CHIT...not mending a problem that could be very easily...FIRE BARRY and his administration for starters!
Couldn't produce one single source to refute the numbers?
Because nothing is more important than hairy butt. Next, you'll probably claim your "life partner" is a Veteran, huh?
Its not on me to refute a bunch of unsourced, cherry picked nonsense propaganda you f'ing idiot! Its on you! Seriously, did EVER go to ANY kind of school?
Sure it's on you. I've sourced facts. It's up to you to prove they are wrong.
Just because you are a sissy and say so, doesn't cut it in the real world.
Couldn't produce one single source to refute the numbers?
None of its sourced and you know it.
Imagine if you cared about Veterans as much you do about butt?
Last opportunity. One single source to refute the numbers? Surely media matters has written something to defend Obama over funding numbers, right?
Thought that would shut you up.
There is nothing to refute, you just know next to nothing about how government budgeting works. Those "carry overs" are intentional savings. Full Stop. Period. End of Story.
If you want a real f'ing source, you can go look at an actual budget for the VA and make a decision yourself, rather than just regurgitating nonsense like a brainwashed fool.
Heres a synopsis from AmVets that you won't look at:
http://www.amvets.org/pdfs/...
PS, note the budget request: 140 billion. They didn't get that in '13, believer.
Every bigot I've ever encountered who was as obsessed with homosexuals as much as you f'ers always turned out to be a major closet case. I bet you watch a lot of football, eh? Hang out in public parks much, closet case?
Maybe yo and HughGNutts can get together and go camping or something.
I don't mind being called gay, you bigoted closet case. You forget, I like gay people, I'm liberal. Call me gay all you want. You're still a closet case obsessed with homosexuals.
So, 53% of America is gay? Wow!
That's odd, because I'm pretty sure your side is the 47% (according to the last national election). Meaning, my math is pretty spot on...
Still cheering for your man, eh girlfriend? How sweet.
gross. and on that note, its been fun twinky cakes. Have fun on your date with HughGNutts!
The irony of you using gay insults while crying about others doing it is entertaining.
So you are proud to be a part of the leech class.
Lol... so glad you guys revert to your true colors, so easily....
Cherry picked? It was the budget, a budget you said was to small but in fact keeps growing.
Funny, but Obama's supporters have been claiming the VA is fully funded. What gives?
Hmmm...BIGOTS...among other nice adjectives throw our way...you are the epitome of idiocy...DITTO HEAD.
Those are federal numbers.
VA spent nearly a half billion dollars the wk of 30SEP2013 to zero its budget...the outlay went to office furniture, curtains, office supplies...etc...NOT to Vets.
VA docs accept the pay rate; it is choice...no one forces them to. They also do not have overhead for office space, malpractice insurance, office staff, parking, lab services...etc....nice try though at selling the liberal progressive party line.
You really are a brain dead liberal...the VA has some very fine doctors..most that work there or for the VA believe in the hypocratic oath..not the bonus money given out. I think youre referring to Medicaid..i agree..its a POS much like your ideals.
So switching out morphine for saline isn't corruption?
Perhaps they shouldn't have spent so much time and money on refurbishing conference rooms. Liberals seem to specialize in misplaced priorities.
Ah, I see. Typical bagger BS. Scream "Freedom, Support the Troops!!!!" But then, when comes time to actually support the troops, just a bunch of chickenhawk lip service.
Typical phagger BS. No matter how many Veterans die, no matter how many Veterans who needed care had their applications trashed, regardless that Obama directed the VA to process Obamacare applications while hundreds of thousands of Veterans were waiting for theirs to be processed, you'll turn a blind eye because __________ is more important?
We all know what that blank is, right?
Its not an "Obama" f'ing issue, its a funding issue. Full f'ing stop. This is according to nearly every Vet group, the government and independent analysis that isn't focused on political gamesmanship like you f'ers.
Again, support the GD troops, hypocrite. That yellow ribbon on your pickup truck is absolutely meaningless unless you put action behind your currently empty words.

As suspected, a single issue LISP (low information sissy phag) who will turn a blind eye to everything but a hairy butt.
Our federal government places more value on foreign invaders than on our veterans who have fought and sacrificed for our country.
Absolutely disgraceful.
