It’s amazing to see how much utter disregard bureaucracies have for individuals, how inept and completely shameless they are, and how much utter apathy and neglect bureaucrats have for veterans!
I can’t tell if it’s this disgusting administration that actually considered making wounded war vets use their personal health insurance to pay for injuries sustained in battle, or whether it’s just the nature of the inept, morally bankrupt nature of the bureaucracy, but this is absolutely shameful!
Erik Roberts, an Army sergeant who was wounded in Iraq, underwent his
13th surgery recently to save his right leg from amputation. Imagine
his shock when he got a bill for $3,000 for his treatment.[...]
The Department of Veterans Affairs has now decided to pay his bill, but
only after prodding from a U.S. senator who got involved after CNN
brought it to his attention.
It took the involvement of a Senator to set these shitbricks at the VA straight! As if their entire job isn’t to take care of the wounded warrior! It took media involvement and legislative inquiry to get these bastards to do their jobs! This is sick!
And just think! This is the type of system the Unicorn Shitter wants to impose on the rest of us!

This is just wrong. His private insurance paid $57,000! They should bill that to the VA. Sick. Just sick.

whoever sent that bill and whoever authorized it should be hanged as traitors, no matter how high the genesis of the policy.It was on the news today that a VA hospital has infected veterans with viruses including hepatitis by using unsterilized instruments in colonoscopies. The exact number now isn’t known, but more than a few.That puts a whole new meaning on making our veterans take it up the ass. These sonsofbitches should all be jailed, or hanged. Every damn one of them in supervision and actual application of the service. Everyfuckingone of them.
