If Obamacare survives you only have to look at the VA Hospitals and their health care system to see where Obamacare is headed. Why? Because of government bureaucracy. It is not the doctors or the nurses and it is damned sure not the patients faults that the system is not getting the job done. There is no excuse for cooking the books when it comes to caring for our veterans. And Obamacare will take up where the VA system leaves off and do it on a much larger scale. And the coverups that are going on with the bureaucrats at the VA is lock step with those at the WH (Benghazi), the IRS, et all. Big Governement hinges on healthcare, it is the first giant step in turning socialistic.
In 2009 Obama went on record saying that the VA backlogs must be reduced. That statement was just like all the other idle words that come from Obama. Did he follow up, nope just made a statement. Now even though he made that statement on a political level it is still a matter of record. Sure we have thrown more money at the problem but that just winds up as bonuses for bureaucrats at the VA, the same morons who cause the problems get rewarded. That is how Big Gov works.
This whole policy of how hard it is to fire federal employees has to be addressed as a separate issue. Bonuses at the IRS and VA alone show how ridiculous the priorities are for Big Gov. Even if they find fraud etc it is absurdly difficult to fire a federal employee. Hell employees at the IRS who owe federal taxes still qualify for bonuses.
Sure the VA Scandal is just. Obama acknowledged the problem back in 2009 and it existed before then. It is the culture of Big Gov plain and simple. We need to address the problems with the VA Hospitals but we also need to take it all the way around the bases. We need to do away with the country club culture that federal bureaucrats obviously have and we need to do the same with all branches of government. It would be so easy to go to a flat tax for instance. It is not only a better system but would reduce the number of IRS employees and reduce their power immensely. Big Gov is all about power but in the end they are always exposed because of incompetentcy and blatant manipulations of rules and regulations.
Do I blame Obama alone. No but he made a statement in 2009 and obviously never followed up on it. Is that the first time that has happened, hell no. All that hope and change was nothing more than a campaign slogan. Ask the patients (those who have not died due to long waiting lists) how they feel about hope and change. Hope and change for the bureaucrats is all about not getting caught. Like everything that transpires in this administration if it was not for outside sources the lame stream media would give this administration a pass. Because there are actually concerned people involved and because veterans are dying for all the wrong reasons the problems have surfaced. There is no denying the problem is the system and the bureaucrats who administer it. The same goes with the Obama administration. I hope they CHANGE this and I HOPE it is sooner than later. But that is just me.
