  9 New Surprises in President Obama's Speech

  Danetta, I so agree with you!  And the statement you made "rather than preventing fraud, what they're doing is PUNISHING people who NEED help"   I am a federal whistleblower reporting abuses at the local VA to our veterans and was fired for it. And so filed complaints of this abuse and my wrongful termination with the OSC, Offfice of Specia Counsel and just received their preliminary determination on both cases..even with the evidence I provided... they failed to "Substantiate"my claims.  come to find out, that in thier 30 year history they have never found in favor of the whistleblower!  They deemed that a patient that was left alone because the staff was removed by management to go to another floow, even when they were informed that the patient was a high risk for falls, and when the nurse returned the patient was on the floor... the OSC said they didn't deem that abuse because the patient was not injured. They refused to interview a veteran patient about a severe abuse he reported because the VA told the OSC he has bi-polar disease and therefore isn't competent to give accurate reports... which just isn't true.  On and on and on... They didn't think it important or abusive when people were severely overmedicated with pain and bowel meds because there were no long term effects (even though these people were on a hospice unit and didn't live long after the abuses)  and so they sent the physician to a 3 day retraining class.  So there really seems to be no true effort, only outward appearance to deal with health care abuses, and therefore no one is being held accountable and they tell us the care in our Veterans system of health care is the best. hmmmm... I believe in our health care system today there is NO redress for those who have been abused, not served, or those that report these abuses. Sad for this country!
