It is common news that our veterans do
not get the healthcare they deserve and that this is a problem all across the country
despite President Obama’s campaign promise to make the VA better. Under his
watch, selfish and inept bureaucrats gave themselves bonuses while veterans
died.
This
point brings up something Thomas Jefferson said: “A government big enough to
give you everything you want, is strong enough to take
everything you have.”
In fact, many medical malpractice
lawyers in Jackson, MS are of the opinion that that the healthcare scheduling
systems in most veterans offices are so obsolete and that the computer
programming used in their systems are outdated (the languages date back to the
seventies).
As reported by clarionledger.com, on a trip to the Jackson
Veterans Affairs, Veterans Affairs Secretary, Robert McDonald, said that the
medical system would be completely modernized and revolutionized and that his
office will soon take big steps to
prevent malpractice and hospital neglect and provide healthcare to
America’s 22 million or so veterans.
Medical malpractice attorneys in
Mississippi say that these advances will begin next week as the veterans’
office expects the president to announce a substantial increase in the budget
for veteran’s affairs exclusively. The secretary confessed that his agency
needed almost $1.4 billion to execute what they had in mind, but added that
this was an approximate estimation and that he could not yet reveal the final
numbers at this time. Some people believe the government will spend too much, there will be delays, and it will probably take $5 billion or so to
complete this project. Who knows? Look how much California spent on the court
automated system that went nowhere.
Cost overruns are common in the public
sector because no one is spending their own money – too many people in government
do not respect tax payer’s money.
Like the majority of Mississippi based
veterans, a Vietnam veteran named Richard Vineyard showed concern about the
doctor to patient ratio, but was also grateful to the veterans office and said
that it had saved his life on a couple of occasions and had helped him become
clean. He said he would be a homeless drug addict if it wasn’t for veteran’s affairs.
VA Doctors’ Pay not Up to Par with Industry
Standard
When questioned about why it is the case
that the doctor to patient ratio was so poor, medical malpractice lawyers in
Jackson. MS say that it is simply because veteran’s affairs physicians are paid
substantially less that what they could receive if they worked at a private
hospital.
However, one of the changes that the
secretary says the veterans’ affairs office will introduce is that VA officers
will now receive not only a 20% salary hike but also additional benefits such
as not having to pay medical malpractice premiums. Will this help veterans
though? That is the question.
Shirley Svorny Says Interstate Medical
Licensure Compact Bills will not Serve the Purpose
According to a clarionledger.com report, House Bill 41 and
Senate Bill 2412 are all ready and awaiting passage in their respective
chambers this week. The proponents of the bill drafted it and are pushing for
its passage because they believe that the bills will increase license
portability and in turn, the practice of interstate telemedicine.
However, Svorny, a revered economics
professor at California State University, Northridge and at the Cato Institute
who has tons of experience in this particular field, is of the opinion that
these bills are not going to help the cause at all. Moreover, this new rule
adds another layer of bureaucracy and that is why Svorny opposes it.
Many Jackson, MS medical malpractice
lawyers also agree with the views of Svorny. We will know by the end of the
week as to whether or not the bills will pass.
