VA Scandal Rocks Obama Administration

[Creed of Heresy]

Let's do some math on the bonuses:

In 2012, physicians practicing primary care received total median annual compensation of $220,942 and physicians practicing in medical specialties received total median annual compensation of $396,233.

REF: http://www.bls.gov/ooh/healthcare/mobile...rgeons.htm

Assuming median pay for only one year, $8.8 million is:
39 primary care providers
Or
22 specialists


Assuming 4 year tenures minimum:
9 primary care providers
5 specialists

8.8$ million is 0.005% of the 157.2 billion $ budget.

In other words, the bonuses, while probably undeserved, are noise.

Useless diverting noise.

Surely you must be joking, Moros. Noise, you call this?

More like the infantile screaming of individuals desperate to vindicate their declared political slants and vilify their political opponents.

So not just noise, but extremely obnoxious and irritating noise.





(Intentionally utilized not just for the sake of comedy and relevance to current point but also because the name of the movie fits this silly shit perfectly)

This "scandal" is being trumped up and politicized to an obscene degree. It's also going to cause even more harm to veterans as following this the political landscape is going to view additional funding to the VA as "feeding corruption." AT, whether he realizes it or not, is an example of this looming disaster gestating.
