President Obama recently visited Phoenix to speak at Central High
School- only blocks away from the Phoenix VA hospital that ignited the
veterans healthcare scandal last year. Even though the school AND
Obama’s hotel were just minutes from the epicenter, the President
neglected to visit the VA Hospital to witness the problems firsthand.
His motorcade even drove by the hospital without stopping- and he even
made time for the gym. Veterans had been urging Obama to visit the
troubled hospital and are outraged by his neglect.
he Phoenix Va Hospital made headlines last year when misconduct such as long waits, insufficient care, preventable deaths, under staffing, over-prescription of narcotics, and more were reported.
We would think if he was serious about VA reform that he would come down
to the Phoenix VA, see what the problems are,” Matthew Kenney of
Concerned Veterans for America said. “See them firsthand and come up
with solutions on how to fix it.”
