Trump about to gut the VA Healthcare system

Are you intentionally trying to be obtuse? B/c if so, you are neither funny or astute of facts.
Teleworking should be something permanent in healthcare. You do realize most towns and cities do no have adequate care. Especially VA care. Having the ability to see a doctor via telehealth can save lots of money and time for veterans AND the system as a whole.
I work in both urban and rural healthcare. I am more aware than you have any idea of the access problems that exist. I do not see anywhere in this thread an implication that tele-visits with healthcare providers is part of that.
It is the patient that is remote not the employee. The employee can work from the designated hospital work site and the patient can remain remote.
If you have more detail regarding these sorts of visits and what the trump administration intends to do, I am happy to listen and review it.
Your mere statement does not convince me of your knowledge, your experience or persuade me that these visits are curtailed.

Same model used for school vouchers. Under fund the current system, claim it’s broken and replace it with a private system that costs taxpayers more but gives kickbacks and or jobs to those who helped them get richer.
Yes all being directed by the Billionaire Oligarchs. This stuff is sent to state level GOP reps to pass such and such legislation. They are just doing their bidding at this point. There's no functioning democracy legislative wise in red super majority states like Iowa and now the Federal government it appears.
See, that's the thing. They all think that they have won something and the democrats have lost. They are too stupid to understand that trump will do what he said he would, and he is, that we're all in the same boat and we all lose.
And stay out of jail. And get revenge.
Perhaps the phenomenon is supernatural at its core?
Antichrist Signpost #2. I'm going to have to start compiling a list.
Chis is not a "leftist", he's obviously a liberal. Wouldn't hurt for you to do a little reading to learn the difference.
They were warned. Also let's burn it down. AmIRight? Buttttt those eggs.
1. The OIG said it is sub par.It took years for my VA care to be what it is now, EXCELLENT! Who is saying there are crap performers?
Trump’s VA pick defends hiring freeze amid staffing concerns
Trump's VA pick, former Rep. Doug Collins, said the VA may be trying to fill positions, but many of those vacancies have gone unfilled for weeks or longer.federalnewsnetwork.com
The problem so many Iowans cannot come to grips with is that brown people keep these congregations going.Better churches. New Vienna, Iowa, population 382 has this church...

I'm more about seeing what really happens than taking tweets at face value, or speculation based on rumor or some small snippet of information.
Broad exemptions to Trump's federal hiring freeze begin to take shape
The Defense Department is indicating it will allow hiring to continue for all civilian positions.

WASHINGTON — Following successful implementation of President Trump’s federal hiring freeze, the Department of Veterans Affairs announced several exemptions to the policy.
These exemptions clarify the department’s ability to continue filling essential positions that provide health care and other vital services to Veterans and VA beneficiaries.

I don't need to do any reading on that topic. I know what the two are and use the terms separately, advisedly.
A liberal is someone with whom I have philosophical disagreements regarding policy yet understands we are all Americans and love this country equally. We both want the best for Americans and could have an interesting debate over beers at the local pub. I have lots of IRL liberal friends.
A leftist is someone that puts left leaning thought and philosophy above all else including community and country, involves calling people divisive names, requires one to be a general impolite a-hole and in turn creates an individual lacking in character or any hint of redeeming humility.
I think I got this. Thanks.
The Department of Veterans Affairs is exempting more than 300,000 health care positions from a governmentwide hiring freeze.
VA doctors, nurses, pharmacists and medical officers are among the dozens of occupations excluded from the hiring freeze.

I'm overdue for a physical and med check. I'm calling tomorrow to schedule an apt. I will report back what I hear when I have the apt. I often prod them if they are getting the support they need.
As I have said before, I have had better care at the VA than any private med. Perhaps I'm lucky.
I've had good care in Des Moines as well. You going to the clinic by the SouthSide old mall area? I was just at VA Services on main campus Wednesday to get a new photo ID Pic taken.
So best case, Trump created a lot of temporary chaos. And worse case he will cut these positions eventually anyways.
Better hope schedulers weren't one of the cut positions.
Yeah, Have to head all the way down there now. Nice facility. I'm hoping that Story County gets a clinic in the next 5 years as they were talking about.
I forgot to add. The folks at the main campus / Hospital are just awesome. They look at their jobs like a mission. I was scared to go there at first, but they made me feel so welcome. They are saints.
Yep I've had great experiences at the VA starting in 2004. Helped me get my VA disability rating had no idea about any of it.
I don't understand how a hiring freeze for any position is ok? If there is a need for services that Vets needs, then fill those positions. Why is Trump dicking around with them?
You were more proactive than me..... I didn't allow myself to get in their care until 2014. 10 years after overseas work. Stubborn idiot, I was.
Furthermore, good luck VA getting any good hires when POTUS makes your job a political thing.
Yeah we got attacked so much and purple heart issued overseas on sight by Battalion Commander first thing I did when I got back was getting enrolled and reviewed.
