Texas Drifter: Pets Get Better Health Care Than VETS

Library Entry # 699

Marshall’s Law Dateline – Veteran Administration scandal issues being ignored are not delays in Veterans receiving health care. Issues being ignored include quality of care V.A. provides veterans; plus futility of providing veterans vouchers for private sector health care sources. Why V.A. has engrained reputation of not paying voucher invoices in timely manner, or in many cases never compensating those accepting vouchers.

Two examples of V.A. quality of health care for veterans.
1. As told to Texas Drifter by Vietnam combat Marine: I had two large “cists”, I had to go to emergency room one night. There I was put under by anesthesia, was told next day everything was fine, but I would have to go to V.A. to have second “cist” removed as soon as possible. Went in for operation, and was informed that I would not be given anesthesia or even local anesthetics to reduce pain. As soon as I rolled over on my stomach the doctor started cutting on me using no local anesthetic, only bathing cutting area in iodine. Doctor continued to cut on me occasionally flushing surgical area in iodine which burned like hell. He also said that he had not hurt that much since being injured in Vietnam. His closing words were maybe that foreign doctor does not like Marines.
2. Vietnam combat veteran needed to have glaucoma treatments for both eyes. V.A. wanted to do both procedures same day. Old friend was warned only do one procedure at a time; now veteran is only blind in one eye. Why only one eye, said he never went back to V.A. for additional treatments. The Vietnam combat veteran also said one of luckiest days of his life was only having V.A. blind him in one eye.

Reader want more examples than they can probably ever read? Set up new website for veterans, their families, or friends to report treatment delays, poor health care, and private sector services denied because V.A. refuses to pay for vouchers in timely manner or forever.

Seems indisputable truth that Marxist-fascist Progressive Democrats and Republican establishment ruling class aristocrats have conspired or at minimum simultaneously tolerated America becoming a nation where people’s pets get better health care than America’s veterans. Progressive Democrats with support from Republican Senators like John McCain prescribe solutions for V.A. scandal like (1) Issuing vouchers that most will not accept due to V.A.’s lack of honoring re-payment for accepted vouchers. (2) Build more V.A. building and hire thousands more V.A. bureaucrats.

Questions should be how many veterans will be murdered and tortured during V.A.’s expansion process? How will adding more incompetent bureaucrats to existing plague of incompetent bureaucrats serve best interests of veterans?

Question for U.S. Republican Senator John McCain, do you know who was one of most decorated war heroes during America’s first war with England? Answer is Benedict Arnold, point being: receiving honors for past courage and bravery is not a pass for future indiscretions and or corruptions.

Guess most Progressive Democrats and Republican establishment ruling class aristocrats have evolved into what Shakespeare would have referred to as political fishmongers serving “fish market” called government?

Old school concept is “repair and retribution”. Translation: resolve - repair problem and seek retribution for those entitled to due process justice.

Talking about doing right thing is only cheap talk; fighting and dying are not cheap. Three examples
1. Texas politicians at Washington on Brazos talking about Texas Independence while patriots were fighting and dying behind crumbling walls of an old church in places like San Antonio.
2. Contemporary times, involves June 2014 Texas Republican State Convention in Fort Worth where an estimated ten thousand party faithful will speak millions of words for party platform which will become nice “what were they” ideas day after November elections. Only risk to those at Texas Republican State Convention is spilling their drinks on another Republican hundreds of miles away from Texas porous Southern border.
3. Millions Americans express shock and awe at V.A. abuses and atrocities against veterans; angry words do not solve problems.

Observation when combat veterans who survived horrors of war where life is not fair and sixteenth of inch one way or the other means difference between life, permanent injury, and death; feel luckiest day of that veteran’s life is surviving V.A. care; America is approaching point of no redemption.

Question does talking ever force tyrants into submission, or stop any government from abusing any veteran or other citizen? Answer is “no”.

Question, what is Veteran administration’s cruelest conduct?
1. Delaying health care until veteran dies?
2. Masquerading torture as health care to veterans.
3. Reader’s choice # 1 or # 2 ______

Reader may be asking, what can I do; start by supporting the setting up of new website where veterans, their families, and their friends can post all horrors of their V.A. experiences in 238 words or less.

Reader may be asking what will that do: (1) show America you believe veterans can get better health care by letting Americans who care how poor V.A. health care really is. (2) Remind everyone that veterans deserve better health care than people’s pets.

Question – Americans should not gloss over media’s propaganda numbers like “forty” veterans died in one V.A. hospital. Those forty murders represent murders of forty individual veterans each with their own families, friends, and brothers in military service. Some suggest that each veteran could have as many as thousand such people throughout their lives. Better headline would be “At Least Forty Thousand Suffer from Forty V.A. Murdered”. TRUE or FALSE

Clue – first repair problem of delayed or worse than incompetent health care for veterans. Second provide retribution or justice if reader likes word better; for V.A.’s crimes and negligence acts against veterans, their families, brothers in arms, and friends.

Bonus question, why limit veterans, their families, brothers in arms, and friends to two hundred thirty-eight (238) word reports on new website which can serve as “virtual wall” so all veterans suffering by V.A. will never be forgotten? Might not be bonus question worth thinking about if Texas Drifter provided immediate answer?
