Abomination--VA Tells Iraq Vet To Wait 60 Days [Petition, Picture]

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


http://Change.orgWhen Iraq War veteran Chris Neiweem made an appointment at Washington, D.C.’s VA hospital, he was told he could not see a doctor for nearly 60 days. Chris is one of many members of our organization, Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA), who depend on quality and timely VA health care – yet they’re still not getting it. 

Just one year ago, Americans learned how bad things were at VA hospitals. Reports of secret VA wait lists, whistleblower retaliations and veteran patients dying while waiting to see a doctor    rocked the country. But few VA employees have been held accountable for their negligence. Not only has no one gone to jail, only two employees have been fired over their role in the VA scandal. 

This is why we support legislation to give the VA the tools necessary to remove employees who are not meeting the standards of service that our veterans deserve.

Please click here to sign our petition and ask Congress to hold VA employees accountable.

VA Secretary Bob McDonald needs the authority to remove any VA employee based on performance or misconduct, and protect whistleblowers who expose mismanagement within the Department. We also need a shortened appeal period for those employees to bring an end to what appears — in the view of too many veterans — to be a never-ending removal process that does not hold people accountable and, even worse, puts veterans at risk. 

There are commonsense policies that should already be in effect – but they’re not. 

In June 2014, IAVA called for the creation of a new Marshall Plan for Veterans: a bold, comprehensive effort to restore confidence in the VA. As part of that plan, IAVA called for full criminal investigations of those bad actors who ruined the reputation of the VA and harmed its veteran patients. Passing this bill is the next step to protect our veterans. 

Please sign IAVA’s petition calling on Congress to support veterans by passing VA accountability reforms.

Thank you, 

Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America

      Our Vets deserve front-of-the-line privileges at any major hospital in America with any doctor they choose, anytime they need treatment, with the tax payers paying the bills, not routed to a Veterans Hospital which is sometimes far away from their homes, with second rate physicians, uncaring nurses, and deplorable care. I say dump the VA and let Veterans use any hospital and doctor they choose anywhere they choose to go.

        The little believing WAR CRIMINAL volunteers of the jew-nited Fraudulent Fascist states of TORTURE, MEDICAL and MILITARY TERROR ARE GETTING EXACTLY what they deserve!
        Follow the ORDERS of your ameriiiSCUM WAR MONGERING KILLER leaders, and YOU DESERVE what ever you get!
        Like, waiting in LINE at the VA Hospital for treatment from radiation exposure from the Depleted uranium Munitions YOU volunteered to handle and use!
        And, the best part, WAR CRIMINAL Volunteer is your wife will get sick with the cancers YOU gave her, and your offspring will look like SPACE ALIENS, not human!

        And, THAT IS THE PLAIN TRUTH!
