60 Dead Veterans left to rot in LA County Morgue for 18 months while Obama Gets Photo Op in Afghanistan


Nothing our president does comes as a surprise anymore, but when he uses our troops, still stationed in Afghanistan, for nothing more than a photo-op to deflect from his abysmal neglect of veterans here at home, it’s beyond shameful! I wonder, did he really think that we’d swallow that little bit of theater? Does he really think the American people are that stupid? Answer – Well of course he does!

There is more shocking news regarding the VA scandal coming out every single day now. But boy, howdy….didn’t he look great putting that wreath on the tomb of the Unknowns on Memorial Day? If I was one of those “low information voters,” I would almost swear that he really does care about our nation’s finest. Thank God I’m not that stupid! For the president to tell America he knew nothing about the problems within the VA is also insulting.

More disturbing news has surfaced about the neglect by the VA. This time it comes from Los Angeles County, where the dead bodies of at least 60 veterans have been left in the LA county morgue for almost a year and a half without being processed and given a burial with honors that they deserve.

This past Thursday, the LA County Coroner’s Office was asked why the bodies had not yet received a proper burial after a source indicated there may have been as many as 60 veterans at the morgue for the past year and a half. The morgue says the bodies were unclaimed and they don’t know how long the veterans were there.

The law states veterans are supposed to receive a proper burial.

The Veterans Administration says they were never notified the bodies were processed and ready to be buried. The LA County Morgue and the Veteran’s Administration were blaming each other for the mistake. I would have given almost anything to have listened to that conversation. 

WATCH KCAL 9 NEWS REPORT ABOUT THIS MESS:

dead vets 
The Obama administration’s neglect of my fellow veterans is beyond insulting. But what the heck folks, what’s one more scandal to these people? How many more times will our president act “outraged” and promise to get to the bottom of things and not do a darn thing? The White House and the DOJ have done everything they can to impede any investigations ranging from Operation Fast And Furious up to and including this latest scandal involving the Veterans Administration.

I’ll tell you what I’m grateful for; I thank God that I have a family that cares about me. I’m also grateful that my wife and I have already paid for our cemetery plot. I shudder to think what would happen to my remains if I didn’t have a family, or if I had to depend on the VA to provide me with a timely burial. Would my body be left to rot in a county morgue like those men?

If this story doesn’t make you mad as hell, then nothing will. 

I wonder, what those dead veterans in the L.A. county morgue would say to our president if they could speak?

Sarah Palin: VA Scandal Future of Obamacare If Democrats Not Voted Out


http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2014/05/21/Sarah-Palin-VA-Scandal-Future-of-Obamacare-if-Democrats-Not-Voted-Out?utm_source=e_breitbart_com&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Breitbart+News+Roundup%2C+May+22%2C+2014&utm_campaign=20140522_m120570677_Breitbart+News+Roundup%2C+May+22%2C+2014&utm_term=More

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said President Barack Obama’s Veterans Administration scandal involving 40 veterans who reportedly died after they were put on secret waiting lists represents Obamacare’s future if Democrats are not voted out of office.

“Friends, that’s rationed care. That’s the VA today. That’s what’s got to change,” she wrote Wednesday on Facebook. “That’s why Congress has got to change because until we elect leaders who’ll buck the march to socialized medicine known as Obamacare, America’s health care system will go the way of the VA.”

Palin had previously warned about the perils of socialized medicine and Obamacare before the law was enacted.

“Government health care will not reduce the cost; it will simply refuse to pay the cost,” Palin wrote in 2009 while predicting “death panels.” “And who will suffer the most when they ration care? The sick, the elderly, and the disabled, of course.”

Politifact deemed Palin’s remarks to be its “Lie of the year,” and Palin was mocked years before liberals like Howard Dean, Paul Krugman, and some of President Barack Obama’s former advisers – like Steven Rattner – finally conceded she was right

Palin said Wednesday that “Obama’s Democrat party must be defeated in the ballot box in November” so that America remains the strongest nation on earth. She posted a picture of Abraham Lincoln and referenced Lincoln’s words about Americans having to guard their freedoms: “America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.”

Last week, Palin sounded the alarm about the willingness of Democrats to use Obamacare’s failures to push the country toward a single-payer healthcare system.

“What happens next is the Left will subtly suggest moving America toward a single-payer system, which was their intention all along. Watch for this gradual, but driving, descent into statism,” Palin warned. “So, are you still relying on Obamacare to help and not hurt you? On the Democrats’ watch, health care in the hands of unaccountable bureaucrats proves Reagan’s adage that government is not the solution; government is the problem.”

Obama Denies Wait Times At VA Led To Deaths…

http://weaselzippers.us/186786-obama-denies-wait-times-at-va-led-to-deaths/

All you can do is shake your head in disbelief.

Via the transcript from today’s remarks:

[W]ell, we have to find out first of all what exactly happened. And I don’t want to get ahead of the IG report or the other investigations that are being done.

And I think it is important to recognize that the wait times generally — what the IG indicated so far, at least, is the wait times were folks who may have had chronic conditions, were seeking their next appointment, but may have already received service. It was not necessarily a situation where they were calling for emergency services. And the IG indicated that he did not see a link between the wait and them actually dying.

That does not excuse the fact that the wait times in general are too long in some facilities. And so what we have to do is find out what exactly happened. We have to find out how can we realistically cut some of these wait times. There has been a large influx of new veterans coming in. We’ve got a population of veterans that is also aging, as part of the baby boom population. And we’ve got to make sure that the scheduling system, the access to the system, that all those things are in sync.

VA Supervisor: Older Veterans Should be “Shot in the Head” to Save Money

Exclusive: Whistleblower reveals new Veterans Affairs scandal

 

by Paul Joseph Watson | May 21, 2014

A Veterans Affairs whistleblower has exclusively revealed to Infowars that the facility at which he works has engaged in a of cover-up in response to the VA hospital scandal, while also relating the story of how one supervisor expressed his desire to see older veterans “taken outside and shot in the head.”

whistle

The whistleblower, who wishes to remain anonymous for obvious reasons, works at a large 250 acre VA hospital in North Carolina. He presented his credentials to us which checked out. The VA employee lifted the lid on a number of shocking details during an interview with Sgt. Joe Biggs.

“Recently there’s been a very rapid race to move records, boxes, change labels, whatever it may be, they’re putting them in rooms that nobody would look in….and there’s multiple times that I have seen in the past week or so them moving boxes….so apparently they’re hiding their tracks somewhere,” stated the VA employee, adding that the activity preceded an inspection of the facility, suggesting it was part of an effort to conceal evidence in the aftermath of the secret waiting list scandal.

Even more chilling was a warning sent out to VA employees at the facility which, according to the whistleblower, was meant to get across the message, “Do you see what happens to the people that try to get things straight around here, they’re not here anymore,” a tone the whistleblower described as “pretty telling.”

The employee also revealed the shocking attitude of one supervisor at the hospital towards older veterans, who asserted that older vets “should be taken outside and shot in the head because they’re worthless.” The individual still works at the hospital and was not disciplined for his comments.

“How can you stop the corruption and the insanity if you have a supervisor who is a non-veteran saying these things to veterans, scaring them about their jobs and telling them because they’re an older veteran ‘you ought to be taken outside and shot in the head’,” asked the employee.

The whistleblower also related how he knew veterans that had been denied health care at the hospital. However, since the VA scandal broke in the news, the whistleblower states there has been a huge influx of patients into his facility, a move he describes as “a dog and pony show.”

Explaining that the scandal went way beyond patient care, the whistleblower said that corruption within the VA was “overwhelming,” and that working doctors were being replaced by students and residential doctors on weekends to save money.

“That creates a cost cut on the clinical side which lines the pockets of the upper administration and puts our veterans’ health at risk,” asserted the whistleblower, adding that his facility routinely loses patients and that “there’s lack of care everywhere.”

The employee also revealed that cronyism was rampant within the hospital, with family members of existing staff being hired in preference of veterans in desperate need of employment.

“It’s a huge bureaucracy and it’s a huge game and somebody has to break the corruption,” stated the whistleblower, adding that people were scared to speak out because they might lose their jobs and their pensions.

“There’s more than just what you’re seeing on TV and they’re hiding a lot of things and you’re never going to see it on the mass media,” concluded the whistleblower.

The new revelations come in the aftermath of a scandal that has claimed the lives of at least 40 veterans as a result of them being kept on secret waiting lists. The backlogs which caused the deaths are now known to have occurred in at least 19 states. New questions have also emerged about VA workers gaming the system at the expense of veterans. A whistleblower also revealed how she was ordered to falsify records of appointments at Fort Collins, Colorado to make it appear as if veterans were receiving speedy treatment.

Concerns that the VA scandal represents an example of death panels waiting to happen under Obamacare have been expressed in recent days as Obama himself faces mounting criticism over his failure to address the issue publicly.

“It’s simply unconscionable,” said radio host Rush Limbaugh on his national broadcast Monday. “So you have to ask, the natural assumption is that nobody wants these people to die, even if you add the death panel component, nobody wants these people to die, yet they are. At the very least what we’re dealing with here is a total inability to deal with this. And at worst it’s the death panel being done on purpose.”

The issue of death panels and the eugenicist mindset of people having to die in order to allow others to have jobs or health care has stoked controversy for years, most notably in 2010 when Bill Gates suggested that elderly patients should be denied medical treatment in order to spend the money on hiring more teachers. Newsweek also promoted a similar idea in a 2009 front page story entitled ‘The Case For Killing Granny’.
