Found out through someone at the VA they are having consultants coming in weekly making new policies or taking away programs and it ALWAYS goes against the veteran's wellbeing. They are taking away therapy and making it based on each situation the vet calls for help not bi weekly anymore.
This person even said they are considering dismantling the VA and privatizing everything. Now I know the VA is shit however this can be overall horrible for veterans in need. When asked who is pushing these ideas the person couldnt say.
Then, a family member called congress who denied everything, so either they are out of the know or clearly lying.
My guess they want vets to be mentally unstable to either commit suicide or cause a rampage. Cant have a well built citizen army.
What can we do to make a big enough noise about this to stop it. I feel it must be exposed to really get the govt to stop proceeding forward.
Do you guys think this is a good thing to go private or will it put too big of a strain on local med offices? I trust nothing the govt does so to me it seems like a bad idea to change it so much
They privatized a lot of Medicare and the Type C plans ( manged care contracts) are already creating problems. So while the VA has its problems, I dont believe it should be private at least until we get a Veteran friendly President.
What we need is a VA done right. Fully staffed with patriots.
We don’t want something like Medicare part C. It’s just HMO renamed.
Correct - and taking our Medicare $$ and giving them to insurance companies to screw a system that did work.
Agreed!
