While our veterans are literally dying in hospitals within long wait lists – Veterans Administration hospitals have spent around $420 million on solar panels and windmills.
Because it’s important that our veterans DIE so the hospitals can be ‘ecological’…right?
Government agencies have to spend the money they get or they won’t have justification to receive the same, or more, the following year. And, because this government DOESN’T GIVE A DAMN about our vets to spend the money on actual care, they spend the money on something ‘the masses can agree on’ just to spend the money.
In total, VA hospitals reported 23 deaths due to 76 instances of delayed care, an April 2014 VA fact sheet said. Then on June 5, Acting Veteran Affairs Secretary Sloan Gibsonrevealed that at least 18 Phoenix patients died while waiting for treatment on a secret list kept off the books. It is not clear if that number is in addition to the 23 deaths reported earlier. During the past month, the scandal has resulted in the resignations of both the VA secretary and the leaders of its health care component.
According to a June 3 audit, 100,000 veterans had lengthy wait times for appointments. Of the nation’s 216 VA hospitals, 37 percent will require further investigation.
A whistleblower revealed Tuesday that seven of the patients listed on the Phoenix VA hospitals waiting list are already dead. That same Phoenix facility spent $20 million to build the nation’s largest solar carport. Phase one of the project was completed in 2011. The hospital also had an $11.4 million shortfall that year, an Inspector General’s report stated.
Also in 2011, only 49 percent of first-time patients nationwide got a full mental health evaluation within the VA’s own goal of within 14 days after initial contact, the IG’s report said.
The Phoenix hospital is not the only VA hospital to have installed solar panels while hiding long wait times. Millions in stimulus funds were used to install panels on two facilities, one Albuquerque, N.M., and another in nearby Tucson, Ariz.. With the latter, the VA spent $14.7 million between 2010 and 2012 to install solar panels on the roof of its medical center. The contract was awarded to REC Solar, the sixth-largest recipient of stimulus funds from the VA.
During the time of the solar project, one patient at the Tucson, Ariz., hospital died of colon cancer after not getting a routine colonoscopy. That death was revealed in a fact sheet the VA released in early April after an internal investigation.
Totally stupid!!
THE VA DOES NOT GIVE GOOD HEALTH CARE, THEY ARE DOING A COVER UP AGAIN.
To sad to comment,
This country is so screwed up, and that’s putting it nicely.
Obama has known about the problems at the VA Hospitals his answer is solar panels and windmills. I can see his agenda can’t you?
WHAT A SHAME
Let’s pretend they are from Mexico and give them everything they need.
Doesn’t make a good case for govt. run healthcare.

Check and see who is heavly invested in solor, and you will find it to be the Democrats largest Non Union Donors, and if you find that the Unions pension funds are investing, also, this is known as “Insider Trading”, and someone should go to jail. Solor plants have closed in the past, because the cost can not be justified. But if our Government, forces those who receive government funds, as they are, to install solor, at any cost, its a fix, unfair to the tax payers, all for the Democratic Party to receive Donor Money. That is what is happening, and since the Democratic Senators are part of the plot, the way to get back at this big business scam, is vote, the Dem. Senators OUT of office. The same one’s who lied to you about Obama Care (ACA Law). It’s time to TAKE our country back!
