VA debacle, in Columbia, demonstrates why Obamacare must be repealed

Obama VA workers collected big
bonuses, while lying about treatment
being denied to veterans. 
The State newspaper is reporting that a “Columbia VA (Veteran’s Administration) town hall meeting turns into claims gripe session.”
A parade of veterans, at the Thursday meeting, scoffed at claims of “improved” service since Obama Administration VA personnel had been caught denying treatment, and letting veterans die.
The VA was hailed as an example of government success when Obamacare was being sold to Americans. More than double the capacity of veterans showed up at the Columbia session to voice their anger over the government's failure.
“A lot of veterans are saying the VA is just waiting for us to die or to quit trying” to get claims, said Bruce Wright of Swansea. He said, according to The State, that Obama's VA staff told him his appeal was in the computer system, but local federal government employees insist the information isn't in the system.” His plea was similar to many. 
Leanne Weldin, the VA's Columbia Regional director, “said her office has improved, but still needs to get better.
Maurice W. Scott of Columbia told Weldin: “most of what you’re saying is political rhetoric.”
Just like when President Barack Obama said healthcare would cost less and be of higher quality under Obamacare.
Obamacare is hurting already struggling families, and it's not even fully implemented. It must be repealed.
