Reply #38: Health care can not be about money!

[blossomstar]

I worked at the Naval Aviation Depot in Cherry Point back in the 80's when Reagan was President and first started the "privatization" crap. The rest rooms and office cleaning were the first jobs that were "contracted" out to save really big bucks for the government. I remember going to the ladies room and one of the women civil servant workers that was losing her job was telling me that she only had five years to retirement and had to go out and look for another job. The rest rooms were always very clean and odor free before being contracted out... then, slowly but surely it got so bad that we were waiting to go home to go to the bathroom it was so smelly in there! Complaint after complaint was sent up the chain of command. The restrooms and offices would look better for a few weeks, then would gradually get back to the same. I can only imagine what happened at Walter Reed. HEALTH CARE can not be about money! Greed will intervene and overcome. Where is our concern for human beings? I am ashamed to be an American.
