LifeZette: It started with a broken leg while snow-tubing with his daughter. It ended with amputation.
Army veteran Sgt. Daniel Dennis is a husband and father who has suffered pain and stress for more than two years. The Veterans Administration in Syracuse, New York, he says, is to blame for the loss of his leg.
Dennis, 32, enlisted in the Army when he was 17, and was stationed at Fort Drum in Upstate New York. He deployed to both Afghanistan and Iraq, but after an IED incident he received a medical discharge under honorable conditions.
But it was not the injuries he suffered overseas — back, shoulder, head and neck injuries — that have put his future at risk. It was the treatment for a common spiral fracture of his right tibia after his service was completed that threw him into what he calls an “unbelievable nightmare” of an experience with the Syracuse VA.
Reading stories like this makes me want to break heads.
Keep in mind that the VA is govt-controlled single-payer medical care which is exactly what Death-eyes and her Dem/collectivist ilk want to force up all our asses.
“I CARE”
… about my taxpayer-funded salary
… about my taxpayer-funded healthcare
… about my taxpayer-funded sick leave
… about my taxpayer-funded Cost-of-Living raises
… about my taxpayer-funded
vacationsbusiness trips… about my taxpayer-funded ‘telecommuting’ 3-day work week
… about my taxpayer-funded Pay Grades that are almost 50% higher than the private sector
see? … I Care!
@UncleAl ~ I can’t, for the life of me, fathom how the US Government, which can’t take care of 1,000,000 vets, even try to take care of another 324,000,000 people … scary as Hell
… but, shhhhhhhhhh … democRats love enslavement … it’s been their past & they long to be the complete masters again in the very near future
… they’re so close they can taste it
Like Bucket-Head Joe said, “This IS a big fucking deal”
Incompetence all around, with no accountability. This is how we treat our veterans? Shameful.
And media not interested in covering the story? Sickening.
Another Obama promise broken. The corruption is endless. Including the ineffectual congress.
Gov run health care is confirmed to be worse than the DMV. The DMV may waste your day but health care run by the same people may cost you a leg or your life.
The most dangerous place for a soldier to be is not in a foxhole during combat but in an Obama run and administered Veterans Hospital!
Use the Churchill method.
Hang an Admiral (or in this case, a Hospital Boss) once a month and the rest of the staff will fall right in line.
If those civil service pukes saw their bosses swinging from a lamppost they would straighten up and fly right.
Yesterday I posted on Facebook that my 0bamacare health insurance rates have gone up an average of 21% per year (compounded), 112% over 4 years. Had a very robust conversation, of course a couple of friends originally from Canadia and UK supporting single payer. This article was the perfect rebuttal to their arguments.

I wonder why there was no link to his GoFundMe page. It has been up since April,2015, but hasn’t collected much. Needs weaponized twittering ,Facebooking, Redditing, etc.
