Gotta Love That Government Health Care

From the LVRJ: A recent inspection found that deficiencies and regulatory problems continue at the Nevada State Veterans Home in Boulder City, which is under scrutiny by the Nevada attorney general’s office.
The facility was issued 11 citations during a Medicare recertification inspection by the state in late December. One of the citations was for failing to monitor a patient who needed frequent supervision, the same issue related to the death of former Nevada legislator Robert Robinson last summer.
Robinson, who was a resident at the facility, suffered second-degree burns on his legs and other body parts when he was left outside in extreme heat for an extended period of time without supervision. He died three weeks later of sepsis, cellulitis, cutaneous burns and prolonged environmental heat exposure.
“The facility failed to ensure one of 26 sampled residents was supervised in 30-minute intervals according to the ‘Frequent Resident Observation’ for safety,” according to December state inspection documents.
The veterans home has been under investigation by the attorney general’s office since Robinson’s death. State investigations found several problems at the facility last year.
The attorney general’s office couldn’t comment on the specifics of the ongoing investigation, according to spokeswoman Beatriz Aguirre.
Other problems found during the December inspection included a medication error rate of 15.5 percent, clinical records being incomplete and services not meeting professional standards.  http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/inspection-finds-new-deficiencies-state-veterans-home
The VA used to be held up by liberals as the prime example of government run health care.
But the VA has been shown to be less than successful in treating our veterans, especially in Nevada.
But now, it seems that the VA is really not as good as it is cracked up to be and so is the myth of government run health care.
