There is a growing call in Congress to expedite care for
veterans by allowing for them to obtain treatment from private physicians,
clinics and hospitals.
COMMENTS:
Gosh, that’s exactly the opposite direction from where ObamaCare is trying to go. Furthermore, if that’s what we end up doing,
(and I’m all for it... let’s get our veterans the care they earned and deserve), it becomes is prima facie evidence that not only is the V.A. system not working, but ObamaCare is not going to work either.
Let’s call a spade a spade; they
can’t have it both ways.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Shinseki says he’s approving a plan for veterans to get
non-specialized care from private doctors.
Will this solve the problem?
(Twyla ~ Interurban, WA)
A. No, it’s political bull.
In order to get any care, including specialized care, you need a
referral from the V.A. So yes, after you
stand in line for six months to two years, you can get a referral and go see
your private physician. A very large
percentage of vets cannot afford either private insurance or private medical
costs. It’s a catch-22 and Shinseki
evidently thinks you’re going to swallow it.
Be careful of what you swallow; you might get pregnant.
Q. Why hasn’t Obama demanded that Mexico release ex-Marine Andrew
Tahmooressi from prison? (Manny ~ Las
Vegas, NM)
A. I’ve said many times in my blogs that Obama doesn’t give
a damn about anyone other than himself.
He cares even less about the military or veterans. Take a look at Saturday's MY AMERICAN OPINION.
Q. Joe the Plumber
has spoken out on mass gun killings and gun control advocates: “Your dead
kids don’t trump my Constitutional rights.”
How do you feel about that? That’s
pretty cold and harsh, as far as I’m concerned.
(Myrna ~ Yuma, AZ)
A. Harsh as it may seem, he is correct. Every one of those killed had the
Constitutional right to go and buy a gun and learn how to use it and to defend
themselves. Had they done so, they most
likely would be alive today. I believe
every qualified American, not a felon or mentally unfit, should be required to buy and carry a gun and to
become proficient in its use. Not only
would these killings come to a grinding halt, but all crimes involving the use
of guns would drastically decrease as well; the facts and statistics bear me
out. Decreasing the number of guns in
the hands of citizens only makes them more vulnerable to the thugs and nuts of
the world, (no offense intended, Ms. Pelosi).
