As they say "tell it to the marines." The backlog is old news and any google search will bring up bi-partisan outrage. Only at 515,000 claims now. Yippee.

Oh then there is the case of the VA claims agents getting bonuses despite the backlog. Bravo.

Every hospital system has bad politics, even LIJ-NS and NYU where currently some of my nurse and doctor friends are very upset with management and decisions. Patients will complain about hospital services whether it's the VA or Mayo Clinic. Doesn't mean the healthcare providers are lousy.

Again, you know nothing of the VA. It's obvious when you said the medical doctors are paid less in the VA system which is not true. But then again, some people will continue arguing for the sake of arguing even if what they say is wrong or being asinine.

Oh I think I know who we are talking to ...

Did you take your pension and free healthcare for life for you and your family that we are paying for and move to Florida so you don't have to pay the big taxes you are a part of the burden of, former officer?

How noble, running to Florida ... yes, you are only willing to pay low taxes that pay the low salaries, low benefits, and low pensions the police in Florida have to make do with. What a champ!

If he keeps arguing with you, I think your next move is to tell him he must be a LOWLIFE CRIMINAL since he does not like the police!

Reading comprehension, dude. I never said a word about VA doctors. I talked about an Air Force doctor and you claimed his medical was better than an NCPD superior officer. You are wrong. Period. Nice use of asinine, though. It sounds nifty, too bad you don't even know what you are responding to. Show me where I discussed VA doctors compensation at all.

...or without realizing they are off topic and arguing a point they created in their head.

Hey I may be a lowlife, but I'm no criminal.

You were making absurd comments about how awful the VA services are compared to LIJ. Yea go tell that to my SO who goes all out for his patients or my endocrinologist friend who has done extensive research on diabetes. Very insulting.

Whoopee for your SO. Right now the VA services IN GENERAL are a well documented travesty. Deal with it. 515,000 backlogged claims by sick veterans. If Mr. Sensitive is insulted, sorry. Go cry to the Marines. If he takes it personally, that's tough too. Lots of systemic problems in the world that don't reflect the good work of individuals. You are clearly too narrow minded to grasp that.

Show me the person who would take VA services over NY's Empire Blue Cross if given the choice. I'd love to see that! I bet your SO doesn't use VA for his own health, does he? Do you?
