If the rest of the news that we see about the VA in our daily news cast isn't enough to make your heard explode, here is something that will. The VA is government at it's worst, stealing $billions of tax dollars and then lying about it to the public, all the while our progressive socialist leaders in Washington, the White House, proclaim all is well, on the mend, it's just those terrible Republicans spinning stories that have no basis in fact.
Also, this is the face of the progressive socialist liberal democrat collective. It's not a party anymore but just a gang of thugs waiting for orders. And if that's not bad enough, a Republican party that is totally without principle or courage.
Remember the IRS? Nothing to see here. Oh, but wait, the IRS is still targeting Conservatives. Nothing has changed. Now they want to identify all sponsors and donors by number of the political activists in opposition.
This is a little long but 'information is power', and you need information to make decisions that will effect you and your family for generations to come.
Denver VA versus Dallas Parkland
Tuesday, December 01, 2015 by Jennifer Vermeulen
Denver and Dallas both had aging public hospitals in need of replacement: one served the most vulnerable of the city’s population, the other served the most valiant. The Veterans’ Administration (VA) hospital in the Denver suburb of Aurora, currently $1 billion over budget, remains incomplete after a decade of planning and construction.
The Dallas project was a joint public-private venture that delivered the new Parkland hospital largely on-time and on-budget. The projects in Denver and Dallas illustrate the consequences of projects managed exclusively by a federal agency versus projects managed with a high degree of taxpayer accountability.
A Tale of Two Cities. In the late 1990s, the VA hospital in Denver, Colorado, was run-down, crowded and outdated. The understaffed hospital struggled to serve a growing population of veterans. Additionally, federal personnel rules made it difficult to hire more doctors, nurses and vital support staff. As a result, many of the 400,000 veterans in Colorado chose to seek treatment at VA hospitals in other states.
In 1894, the original Parkland Hospital was built in Dallas to serve the young city’s indigent population.2 Parkland has since become one of the busiest hospitals in the United States, nationally ranking No. 6 for births per year and operating the nation’s second-largest burn unit. Faced with increasing demand and struggling to meet modern accreditation standards, Parkland’s board of directors embarked on a new project to replace the existing facility.
