Comment: For a sample of how government-run, single-predator Obam-no-care national socialized medicine might pan out on American soil, we need look no further than the Veteran’s Administration.
“The Department of Veterans Affairs’ Office of Inspector General on Wednesday confirmed that more than one-third of the people thought to be seeking eligibility for VA benefits are deceased, and said many of them have been dead for more than four years.”
[...] “In July, reports surfaced that an estimated 239,000 veterans died before they became eligible for benefits, or 28 percent of the nearly 850,000 veterans thought to be seeking these benefits.”
“The OIG’s report said the situation is even worse — it said 307,000 names on the VA’s list of pending enrollees were deceased. That’s 35 percent of the 867,000 people on the list as of last year.”
This is wrong, it’s unacceptable, and it’s an outrage. Naturally, being government-care, there’s no fixing it, but maybe the VA should consider re-branding itself. The “Obamacare” trade name is already taken, but with luck, perhaps “Obamacarrion” is still available.
