ObamaCare preview: 120,000 vets received long delays for healthcare

The Veterans Administration hospitals are government-run health care. And the VA Scandal is a precursor of what ObamaCare will look like.

From the Arizona Republic:

VA medical centers nationwide have misrepresented or sidetracked patient scheduling for more than 57,000 former military personnel, according to a preliminary analysis of data released Monday by the Department Veterans Affairs, and about 64,000 were not even on the agency's electronic waiting list for doctor appointments they requested.

The VA Health Care System also announced a plethora of major reforms, including an administrative hiring freeze, increased transparency and the cancellation of bonuses to employees who meet a goal for scheduling doctor appointments.

The data release by acting VA Director Sloan Gibson further verifies wrongdoing uncovered in Phoenix and shows that dysfunctional practices permeate the agency's medical system and jeopardize health care for 9.3 million enrolled veterans.
