Sis
Since I don't get the local channels up here in the hills, would you watch this program on the "World Class Health System" for me and then give me your honest (which you always do!!) appraisal?

Wal, golly gee, thanks for taking my inventory, now for the 87th time. Were I not such a splendid example of humility, decency, integrity, and charm, you might almost drive me to drink again.

Only the first 30 mins...i am disgusted beyond belief. I literally want to throw up!
I really should of posted this in the Gen Room. Guys this has nothing to do with politics really. The same crap happened during Clinton and before him. I guess it does in a way but it should be non-partisan. I'm just so teed off.....I knew it was bad but its just so sad. The people who run these places ought to be shot. |

I thought the show was well done. The lone VA apologist came across as misinformed and said time and again that folks didn't complain and if they did the problems were taken care of. The most ominous thing, which I have heard before, was that if you complain, the staff will retaliate against you. This is a problem no amount of money will solve. It is an institutional sickness. This kind of spotlight on the ills of the VA system is the only thing that will cause changes...

Yup... I did learn though how truly large the VA medical system is, that came as quite a surprise.
The one guy who would not even look at the video of conditions he was being shown really ticked me off... |

Here
is what the National Commander of the Disabled American Veteterans had to say about the ABC-TV report.
###START### From: "Lisa Bogle" Subject: Primetime Thursday Program To: dav_list@mailmanager.net Date: Fri, 9 Apr 2004 14:52:18 -0400 (EDT) Primetime Thursday Program Please Write to Your Local ABC Affiliate Today! As some of you may know, ABC TV?s Primetime Thursday aired a story on April 8, 2004, reporting inadequate care at several Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical centers. National Commander Alan W. Bowers has written to the Executive Producer of the program to express his outrage over these reports, as well as his disappointment that ABC chose to distort the truth of the VA health care system so outrageously. I encourage you to make your feelings known to ABC. By entering your ZIP code, you can send a prepared letter to your local ABC TV station. Alternatively, you may send your own message through ABC?s web site at ABC News. As always, I appreciate your hard work and support. ####END####
