Two VA hospitals forced to turn away patients
Two Tampa Bay veterans hospitals turn away critically ill patients for huge chunks of the year because of an overloaded veterans’ health care system.
Bill Geden, district director in west-central Florida for the Blinded Veterans Association. “They’re underfunded, undermanned and overloaded.”
In one instance, Bay Pines said it “made a rare mistake” last June when it turned away a non-veteran who suffered a fatal heart attack 200 feet from its emergency room."
It certainly appears that this administration would much rather prefer our wounded vets just die, rather than find the funds to give them the medical attention they need and absolutely deserve..
This is what this administration means when its members' cars sport those magnetic "support our troops" stickers on their bumpers.
It's just a slogan, with absolutely nothing behind it for far too many of our vets. -- Mike Rivero, What Really Happened"
Second the motion!!!
