| #8 Remember the scandal of active duty wounded care at Walter Reed? There was an area reserved for congresscritters at WR. Separately staffed, no waiting, always on call while uniform military were getting cut rate service (created by the very same congresscritter who ignored DoD budget requests to do otherwise in the years prior). If they had to go to the local VA you bet that their part of the building wouldn't look like what the rest of the peons got. |

| #7 If Congress critters were required to get their health care at VA Hospitals in their state and closest to their district I bet that the standard of care would improve dramatically. |

| #4 Well there is that undeniable common thread. Whether natural or man-caused, death is seen as a problem solving technique for the regime. |

| #3 The source article actually has Sen. Sanders saying: "SANDERS: We know that people die every day. We don't know why they die." And if Sanders has his way, we will never know why those particular veterans died, nor will we do anything to improve the situation. And he will continue to collect his bennies and ultimely draw his monstrous pension. |
