BREAKING: TRUMP JUST BLEW THE LID OFF BIGGEST SCANDAL IN AMERICAN HISTORY
Trump's administration has uncovered a frightening, and deadly, fact: the Department of Veterans
Affairs has been letting its hospitals hire doctors and nurses with revoked medical licenses!
Apparently this has been happening for the past 15 years.
Clearly, and for good reason, it violates federal laws.
In direct contradiction to a 1999 law that bars any VA from hiring a healthcare worker
whose licenses had been revoked in any state, in 2002 the VA distributed guidelines that
allowed its hospitals to hire doctors and nurses that had a license in one of the 50
states, even if they had, previously, been subject to a license revocation.
A report by USA Today starts out, "Veteran patients in imminent danger at VA hospital
in D.C., investigation finds."
That report goes on to explain that the conditions at the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical
Center in Washington, D.C., are so dangerous that the agency's chief watchdog group actually
put out a report alerting patients about the issues at that organization.
Apparently multiple issues were found at that location, such as lack of critical supplies,
including bone material needed for knee replacement surgeries and tubes needed for kidney dialysis,
due to an ineffective inventory system.
Worse, perhaps, than the lack of an effective system was the fact that the inspector general
found that senior VA leaders knew about the problems for months but did nothing to rectify
it.
In addition to this finding, the investigators reviewed 25 sterile storage areas and found
that 18 of them were dirty.
These types of reports from the inspector general are, in fact, not commonly made, with
the last one having occurred in January 2015.
The Washington V.A.'s medical director, Brian Hawkins, has since been relieved of
his position and placed on administrative leave.
In addition to the immediate danger posed by these issues, there is the larger issue
of whether or not a government-run healthcare system, as promoted by many liberals, would
be able to provide quality healthcare to U.S. citizens.
If this V.A. debacle is any indication, it most certainly would not.
