An Air National Guard lieutenant colonel who serves as a Republican in Congress is calling for President Donald Trump to be removed from office after his supporters stormed into the U.S. Capitol, disrupting a vote to affirm Joe Biden as the next commander in chief.
Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois said top U.S. leaders must ensure that we have a sane captain of the ship.
The Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center, subsidiary 534GC in Beaufort, South Carolina scheduled 4,344 pending appointments in July compared to 4,567 the previous month, according to data collected from the U.S. Department of Veteran s Affairs.
Of the total number of appointments, 4,339 had a wait time of 30 days or less (99.9%) and five appointments (0.1%) were scheduled more than 30 days out.
A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) in January 2019 reported that wait times for new appointments at VA health care facilities were similar to or better than wait times at private-sector providers between 2014 and 2017.
The Government Accountability Office (GAO), however, released a report in July 2019 that cautioned that the VA s data-tracking system only captures part of the appointment process and fails to account for the time that it takes the VA to enroll veterans in its health benefits program.
