OPINION:
The Veterans Affairs scandal on vets’ health care benefits is nothing more than slow-walking patient support in an effort to reduce costs. The VA seems to think that by taking this devious action, veterans with serious and costly medical issues will likely die before treatment.
One can project this model a little further into Obamacare with the Independent Payment Advisory Board, which will oversee whether patient care will be approved. (Remember “death panels”?) What has been projected over the past few years is now happening. Government controlling life-and-death decisions is here today. America, wake up, before it’s too late.
