Two Strikes You're Out?
The Department of Veterans Affairs wants to end its two-strikes-and-you're-out policy of health care. Right now, if a veteran misses two medical appointments without giving at least 24 hours notice and a good excuse, that's it. The VA puts them down as refusing medical care. They don't receive more health care services from the department except in an emergency. Or if they promise not to miss appointments again. VA said that rule is out of line with its patient-centered philosophy. It wants it stripped from the books. It is accepting public comments on a proposed rule in the Federal Register.

That was a disgrace in the first place, Who comes up with this s?
/it.
I'll bet my a@@ that those on welfare who have done nothing for anyone in this country, but grabbed every free bee dollar that they can get their hands on, don't have to worry about missing an appointment. Why? Just look at the illiterate, out of control money grubbing, welfare baby makers every time their benefits are slow to arrive or get cut off, they go bat****. The Obama libs want to tighten the screws down of every working class American and as well, those that have served their country honorably. The liberal political pigs at the top and low rent pigs at the bottom, just continue to suck.........the life out of America.
What about when the VA cancels your appointments because Obama comes to town and never reschedules them? Who gets the strikes then?
Many VA workers don't follow through with contacting people. Baltimore VA center is one of the worst.
