REPUBLICANS CUT FUNDING FOR VETERANS ADMINISTRATION SERVICES!
Does anyone remember?
I addressed this issue with Congressman Barney Frank's office because at the time, the Wack-A-Ding Republicans were reporting that there was no need for the Veterans Administration in Brockton.
The Brockton VA was under-funded and threatened with closing.
Why? Because there was no WAITING LIST!
Why? Because the Brockton VA refused to add names to the WAITING LIST!
VETERANS ARE NOT POLITICAL PAWNS!
VETERANS DESERVE THE CARE THEY RECEIVE FROM THE DEDICATED VA PERSONNEL!
Republicans continue to abandon Veterans!

McCain, a Navy veteran who was a prisoner of war for more than five years in Vietnam, called the former secretary of State’s comments “disgraceful” and accused her of "downplaying" the VA scandal over long patient wait times.
“Hillary Clinton’s remarks downplaying the significance of the scandal in which veterans died awaiting care at the VA hospitals in Phoenix and across our nation while corrupt bureaucrats collected bonuses are disgraceful, and show a total lack of appreciation for the crisis facing veterans’ health care today,” McCain said in a statement on Monday.
“Secretary Clinton owes an apology to the families of the veterans who lost their loved ones due to mismanagement and corruption in the federal government.”
Clinton said protracted delays at VA hospitals have not “been as widespread as it has been made out to be” on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” on Friday.

The former first lady also accused Republicans of wanting VA hospitals to “fail” as part of an “ideological agenda” to privatize the clinics.
An inspector general report sparked national outrage last year when it found that as many as 40 veterans died while waiting for care at a facility in Phoenix, which had an average wait time of 115 days for an initial appointment.
A subsequent report by the agency’s inspector general described the problem as “systemic.”
