Just think: one day, thanks to ObamaCare, we’ll all have access to VA-quality health care

“Wife's outrage after unconscious vet was pronounced DEAD at VA hospital”.

Let’s see, now. Lots of veterans have died waiting to get assistance from the VA, and here’s one who apparently was being assisted, and was pronounced dead while still alive. This is a level of incompetence that is shocking, even for the federal government. I’m with Dave of Texas on this: the VA is unfixable.

I had a long time to observe life in a VA hospital when my husband had his knees replaced (Dayton VA is one of the best ones, not so Cincinnati or Cleveland). There are dedicated professionals there. There are also a whole lot of govt employees who don't belong anywhere near health care, and who probably wouldn't even be good at digging ditches.

Oh for a real leader of the free world who would grab this opportunity to pressure Putin to withdraw his weapons from Ukraine. It would only take phone calls or a speech, and lives would be saved.

I'm not being a cynical opportunist, so many lives lost lets try to save more in the future.

I think that's what a Reagan President would do. Those were the days.

"This is no light thing; this is not something that can just be dismissed as a tragic accident when you have Russian proxies using Russian-supplied equipment to do terrible things," Abbott told 3AW Radio.

The VA killed my father. They started on him in the 60s, and finally finished the job in 1991 - from Helena MT to Albuquergue to Cheyenne to Denver and back to Cheyenne and Helena, having caused staph infection, the loss of his leg and finally colon and liver cancer that went un-diagnosed until a civilian doc found it...too late.

I will never trust them, though I'm sure there are good, decent people among them. Those are the exception, not the rule.

As retired military, we have been sent BACK to the military system, and I got better treatment at Naval Hospital Pensacola yesterday than I got in 7 years of 'civilian care.'

It is all so broken...

Those of you who survive the wait will have access to it, anyway.

You'll have access to the VA if the DMV clerk lets you have access.
