Gets my blood boiling!What kind of dip-s*** lowlife pieces of s*** think that they are running this country?The mere idea that this could be mentioned shows the true nature of these weasels.VA care used to be exellent before the lisc** started slasing away.
I am sure that you watched the Glenn Beck special Friday. THAT gives me hope!
I live in Broward County, Floriduh, but got an e-mail from Ft. Myers.
Over 250 people showed up for the “We surround you”
Terrific!

The VA is overcharging privet insurance by one huge amount. In December an outpatient hospital visit was $229, in January it nearly tripled and is now $647. I have made a choice I will have to be seen at the VA despite the fact they don’t half take care of me why? Because I have to get off my husband’s insurance before they max us out. Almost eight years ago my husband’s insurance had to cover surgery for a service connected problem and it totalled more than $30,000…….the surgery had to be done at a local hospital because the equipment in the VA’s surgical suite was outdated. The VA system is very sick…indeed!

I was in Canada a number of years back and spoke to the owner of the bed and breakfast where I stayed. She said the Canadians come to the US for open heart surgery because the wait there is about 2 years and you die before you get it. Also, she said you could sit in the ER for up to 24 hours. You also wait to see a doctor in his office for a long period of time. How long will people in the US put up with that? If Obama gets this health care through, then he and all the Democrats should have to abide by it also and sit and wait like everyone else.
