    Default V.A. declares thousands of living vets "dead" and cancels their benefits...

    http://www.wsj.com/articles/thousand...ars-1464174000

    I can only assume that they thought they'd been in waiting lines so long for needed care that they must be dead by now... I mean, what other excuse can there be?

    The Department of Veterans Affairs has mistakenly declared thousands of veterans to be deceased and canceled their benefits over the past five years, a new snafu to emerge at the embattled department.

    The VA has made the error more than 4,000 times over a half-decade because of employee mistakes or erroneous cross-checking of data by the department’s computers, among other reasons, according to correspondence between the VA and the office of U.S. Rep. David Jolly (R., Fla.) reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. The VA changed its procedures to address the issue, but it isn’t yet clear whether the new system is effective.

    “Although these types of cases represent a small number of beneficiaries in comparison to the millions of transactions completed each year in our administration of benefits, we sincerely regret the inconvenience caused by such errors and work to restore benefits as quickly as possible after any such error is brought to our attention,” a VA spokesman said in a statement.

    The socialists who want the government to run health care have a perfect opportunity to show it works better and what do they do with it? Fail, immensely and with great abandon they fail the veterans at every opportunity and then build massively expensive hospitals that never get completed because they can't even agree to a plan... (check out the Aurora CO veterans hospital if you haven't heard about it yet).

    There is no possible way that all Americans shouldn't be pointing out how much suck really is in government run health care.

    I wonder what howie thinks of this
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.
