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.

Yes but the illegals get freebees for nothing our solders give everything get nothing
I do not feel it was wrong to buy and install these solar panels. In the long run it save money. Buildings improvements and new buildings are handled by a whole different department within the VA. Quit kicking the Entire VA around. Everyone and Everywhere within this agency are not guilty. Many, many didn’t even now this stuff was occurring. By the way I am a veteran and yes, I use the VA.
SHAME ON THIS GOVERNMENT AND THE EPA THAT THEY THINK WE NEED SOLARR PANELS AND OUR SOLDIERS ARE DYING WHILE WAITING FOR TREATMENTS WONDER IF PELOSI, REID AND THAT STUPID THING FROM THE EPA AND “BO ” WOULD WAIT??????I DON’T THINK SOOOO
It is the whole VA and the whole gov’t !
Hey James Edward Carlin, the 6th, that is still not meeting the priority list properly! The veterans that are in the VA HOSPITALS NEED TO BE CARED FOR FIRST BEFORE THAT MONEY FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS SPENT ON ANYTHING ELSE, that makes good sense.
Michael you much be a democrat. First off they have no business spending money outside the VA. They need better doctors better equipment better personnel. And the administration is getting way over paid. Pull your head out of your ass.
