The VA Scandal Death Toll Reaches Six Figures

by JASmius



238,657.  Two hundred thirty eight thousand, six hundred fifty seven American veterans who put their lives on the line for their country, murdered by Barack Hussein Obama by the weapon of callous, calculated, bureaucratic neglect:

More than 238,000 of the 847,000 veterans in the pending backlog for health care through the Department of Veterans Affairs have already died, according to an internal VA document provided to the Huffington Post.

Scott Davis, a program specialist at the VA's Health Eligibility Center in Atlanta and a past whistleblower on the VA's failings, provided HuffPost with an April 2015 report titled "Analysis of Death Services," which reviews the accuracy of the VA's veteran death records. The report was conducted by staffers in the VA Health Eligibility Center and the VA Office of Analytics.

Flip to page thirteen and you'll see some stark numbers. As of April, there were 847,822 veterans listed as pending for enrollment in VA health care. Of those, 238,657 are now deceased, meaning they died after they applied for, but never got, health care.

And remember: The VA is government-run single-payer healthcare.  The very thing the Left wants to impose on all of us, for which ObamaCare is the on-ramp.  Meaning that once we are all forced into universal Medicaid, the death toll, by this metric, would eventually exceed eighty four million Americans.

Who needs to set up gulags and death camps when you can just let us all meekly expire waiting years to see a government doctor?

But wait!  There's more!:

The Department of Veterans Affairs may have to shut down some hospitals next month if Congress does not address a $2.5 billion shortfall for the current budget year, VA officials warned Monday.

The VA told Congress that it needs to cover shortfalls caused by an increased demand by veterans for health care, including costly treatments for hepatitis C. The agency also is considering furloughs, hiring freezes and other steps to close a funding gap for the budget year that ends September 30th. [emphases added]

Meaning that if Congress doesn't buckle to VA extortion, congressional Republicans will be blamed for Barack Obama's passive massacre of U.S. veterans.

I'm starting to think I should have just stayed in bed today and slept in.
