Kansas City veterans prepare to sound off amid GOP "wait list" allegations and the most tragic aspect of Obamacare FAIL that's now hitting Kansas City . . .
"Senator Roy Blunt, R-Missouri, has called on Missouri V.A. medical facilities to operate hospitals more efficiently, especially after the death of retired army sergeant Isaac Sims, whose family said he could not get help in time from the V.A., despite suffering from severe Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
The VFW town hall meeting is scheduled for Monday evening, June 9 from 6-9 p.m. at the Uptown Theater, 3700 Broadway St.
The news release says: “All veterans are encouraged to come out and share their stories, good or bad, about the care and treatment they receive at their VA medical centers. At the meetings will be VFW Department and national service officers and leadership from the VFW Washington Office and the VFW National Headquarters to respond to questions and carry veterans’ concerns directly to Congress and the administration.”"

Fact check . . . The VA planned this town hall before the recent scandal but starting the week with a bit of Obamacare bashing might draw a bigger crowd.

A shame when we can't get even basic services for our veterans who FOUGHT for it.
ReplyDeleteTony you ought to come to this meeting. I don't think most folks will believe some of the stuff that has been happening at the VA
ReplyDeleteWhen a friend of mine, had suddenly list her Vietnam Veteran son, a lot of her surprised and saddened for her and their family's loss.
ReplyDeleteIronically the VA was hosting an event close to the holidays at the Linwood facility, so I called the lady whose son's had just passed and told I was there at the VA, and would she like for me to get information about burial assistance for her, SON.
SHE responded "YES", so I went to the counter, that lead me to another counter, then to a phone to call the switch board.
Then I was all happy I done something good and helpful, AGAIN.
I called her and gave the grieving mother the phone number to the KC Veterans Administration---
The number they had given me, was for "PET CARE " or "Pet COMPANION" project, while the lady was bugeting her only son's HOMEGOING' the VA had given me a phone number about a PET Care. YEAH, "OVER-HAUL " the VA
I am surprised Mark Smith has no comments on the VA.
ReplyDeleteWTF?? What does Obamacare have to do with the VA?? This goes back DECADES...and given that the owner of the Uptown, Larry Sells, is a Holocaust denying conspiracy "expert", I'm sure this event will get right to the problem, and not just be another "We don't want a ni%%er for a president" bitch fest. Fail.
