When it comes to “reform” at the nation’s largest healthcare delivery system – which is government-run, by the way – change doesn’t come easy, or at all.
New reports have surfaced that there is a vermin and insect infestation in the kitchen of a suburban Chicago Veterans Administration hospital, that is so severe, that cockroaches appear routinely across countertops as cooks attempt to prepare meals for patients. And some employees, according to Conservative Review, have even claimed that roaches have appeared in patients’ meals.
The problem has become so bad that it has attracted the attention of a U.S. senator from Illinois, who is now demanding to know what the problem-plagued VA intends to do to fix it.
The infestation at the Edward Hines, Jr. VA Hospital in Hines, Ill., is just the latest in a series of scandals involving the VA throughout the Obama administration, which has included allegations of patient abuse, incompetence, and the senseless deaths of veterans who were forced to wait months and years for appointments.
“The workers try to brush the cockroaches off the counters, but the bugs get in the food,” said Germaine Clarno, a social worker at the hospital. Clarno is the local AFGE union president, and has been working with the U.S. Office of Special Counsel as a whistleblower exposing secret appointment wait lists.
