Government Health Care
If you think the government can run an efficient health care system you need to read this:
According to Military.com, the Army veteran Juan Rivera, 55 years old, claims he contracted HIV from the procedure on or about May 19, 2008. Rivera said he had been tested twice and both times he was positive for the disease.
In December, the VA’s Tennessee Health Care System identified a problem related to the “reprocessing” of endoscopy equipment, which exposed otherwise healthy individuals to cross-contamination.
The VA says the errors were limited to the three states, but a report by the agency’s Inspector General suggested more widespread problems.
Subsequently, all VA facilities were told to review their processes to ensure that they were in compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions, according to the report. Completed in December and January, these reviews also identified significant reprocessing issues at the Augusta VA Medical Center and at the Miami VA Medical Center, both of which required patient notifications and testing.
Those who may have been exposed to cross-contamination were patients that received endoscopic procedures at the Murfreesboro GI Clinic from April 2003 to December 2008; Augusta ENT Clinic from January 2008 to November 2008; and Miami GI Clinic from May 2004 to March 2009.
VA has issued a statement saying they will continue to notify, inform, and treat all potentially impacted Veterans, regardless of risk, cause, or harm.
To complicate matters for the VA, at least 1,200 veterans were mistakenly told by the Veterans Administration that they suffer from a Lou Gehrig’s disease, a fatal neurological disease, among other problems due to a “coding error” in their system.
That’s right, the VA failed to properly follow directions and gave at least one veteran AIDS. They told over 1200 they had ALS when, in fact, they did not. Add these to the Administrator who directed mental health workers NOT to diagnosis PTSD in combat veterans due to the potential costs. She wanted the veterans to be diagnosed with anti-social behavior or pre-existing depression so the VA would not be responsible for their care.
Manufactured events
BO and his congressional lap dogs are out there claiming people questioning global warming are right wing kooks. They like to claim the tea party movement is nothing but a bunch of manufactured events. I have personally attended tea parties and know I have never been paid by Fox. I wish they would pay me. I protest because I am fed up with this administration.
Lets conceed some of the protests are manufactured. So what!!!! So someone organized them. What is wrong with that? Before this have you ever heard the left complain about “manufactured Events”? You know, manufactured events like peace demonstrations in DC and other cities. Events like the “Million Man Martch.” Of course not. These events agreed with the left’s politically correct beliefs. Free speech is great as long as you agree with them. Disagree and they want to jail you.
Obama Care
When are the American people going to wake up? Does the left ac tually believe that the same people that run the post office, Department of Veterans Affairs and the Bureau of Indian Affairs can run a National Health Care system? How truthful do they think Obama is when he says this will save taxpayers money?
Look at the history of government run programs. Social Security (or is that insecurity?) is broke. If a private company ran an “insurance” program this poorly that individual would be in prison. The Bureau of Indian Affairs is still in court over oil money they can not account for. In order to keep the court from being able to determine the extent of their criminal activity, employees of the Bureau of Indian Affairs distroyed millions of documents. The situation is so bad auditors have declared the accounts unauditable. Native Americans have been cheated out of billions by the agency charged with protecting their assets. The VA has waiting times exceeding 6 months to receive speciality care. Do we really believe times would be reduced if the government controlled the health care system? The public health service and the VA are both pleagued with incompent doctors. Would this improve if the government controlled the system? The VA has exposed the private information of thousands of veterans to potential idenity theifs by failing to safeguard computer systems. They have been responsible for many deaths of veterans by inproperly cleaning equipment and their anser to these failures is not to fire the people responsible but to just transfer them somewhere else.
Obama Care is really the beginning of the end for America.
