you have been on the job a little more than a year. john boehner sent this out yesterday. with the va it s always worse than we expect. another tweet, the va s long wait lines are taking too long to fix. a lot of this is based on the internal inspector general s report from within the veterans administration. wait times in some places are not better. why not? some wait times have expand because more veterans are coming into care. as we expanded the hours, the number of providers, the facility, we have more veterans deciding to come to the va for care. i think that s good news. we have to work with congress to build the capability for this increased number of veterans. veterans have a choice they can either go to va, tri-care,
just simple this wills. what about the guys that have some stuff that needs to be looked at. you don t want to take that spot. so i went and got tri-care. i have not had tri-care since got out of the army, so i m just going to the va and i ve been fairly healthy, and that s another thing, too neil, real quick. when i was recovering in san antonio texas for three years when i was in the hospital, during that time they were pretty adamant, are you ready to go? almost kind of, let get you out and make room for the next patient. understood. i never jumped and i never signed the paperwork quickly because i was rade to move on will be life because i heard the horror stories within the va and how much time it would take to get an appointment and friends who have burns have gone to the va for treatment and gotten infections because they re not trained 100% no different than the hospital here in san antonio. so, for me, just kind of tell i just say to guys, take
advantage of the tri-care. it s going to be a few extra buck but it s better and gives you an opportunity to go somewhere else outside the va, so give you an option to get in somewhere versus having to wait self months to get in. gentlemen, while have you both here, and danny, i hope you don t mind, this swap for this soldier with a five gitmo detainees, what do you think of it? i think it s absolutely atrocious that we have decided that we should start negotiating it s a great thing the young man is back and safe and sound and all of that. but we just given back five of the worst people and we let them pick who they want. we don t negotiate. it s sort of like if mike durant we weren t leaving over there in somalia without mike durant, we were going to get him back and that s what we have to do, and i m not sure how this story is going to really turn out, neil. it s very interesting, some of
were lessened i don t qualify for tri care or va benefits. so that is not an issue the issue that i had a plan i likeed and i could afford. it was cancelled because of obamacare now, i have to pay more what do you make of her calling into question louisianains no better than to believe? oof i think the people of louisiana can make their minds up i don t think they need to be told what to think. and using common sense, they can make that stigs themselves. i thought it s important to get a story, you know? of a real person. you know? we see stories about people that have maybe preexisting sicknesses and how they re affected but i never saw
they keep telling us it s going to be better. you get more things but paying for things you don t need. how is it not better? you lost coverage? i haven t. but there are things we re paying for that i can t possibly use so it s a matter of costs? increasing premiums? correct. if mary landrew said louisianains know better than to believe you. she pins it on the kokh brothers. louisianains know better than to believe what they hear from the out of state billionaire kokh brothers and says it does not affect tri care or va health care services. she s calling into question your plan? i m glad you bring that up. we re not saying my benefits
