Hillary Blames VA's Problems on Republicans
Placeholder Image
300,000 American veterans dying while awaiting health care from the VA has “not been as widespread as it has been made out to be,” according to Hillary Clinton.She truly believes the secret wait lists and lack of care is a Republican plot.Last Friday on MSNBC’s “Rachel Maddow Show,” Hillary actually said, “You know, I don’t understand why we have such a problem, because there have been a number of surveys of veterans, and overall, veterans who do get treated are satisfied with their treatment. Now... Now, nobody would believe that from the coverage that you see, and the constant berating of the VA. that comes from the Republicans, in - in part in pursuit of this ideological agenda that they have.”Yes, that ideological agenda of the Republicans is to ensure our veterans receive prompt, effective medical care.Hillary, the presumptive Democratic candidate for President of these United States, disagrees with that ideological agenda.It’s beyond amazing that she also believes that as long as some veterans are getting care and they like it, then the problem is not “widespread.”“I do think that some of the reforms that were adopted last year should be given a chance to work. If there is a waiting period that is just unacceptable, you should be able to, in a sense, get the opportunity to go out, have a private physician take care of you, but at the cost of the VA.”That sounds good, but it’s more of Hillary’s inside-the-beltway pandering.
