the choice program to provide me - major doug rokke my own medical care
after choice program director had promised us the service during a
previously broadcast warrior connection. His apology is:
quote
Below is Health Net Federal Services' statement. We hope you'll be able to
read it in its entirety on your radio program.
We regret that you have found our efforts on your behalf to be
unsatisfactory.
Developing a complex new program like Veterans Choice is a team effort, and
Health Net Federal Services is working closely with Congress, the
Department of Veterans Affairs, health care providers and many others to
improve service levels and provide veterans with the appropriate,
coordinated and convenient care they have earned for their service to our
nation.
The Choice program recently completed its first year of operation, and we –
as well as all stakeholders in the program – learned a great deal from this
early experience about what it will take to cultivate an effective
public/private partnership that efficiently connects community health care
providers with veterans who are eligible for the program.
There was good news last week when the VA announced it is eliminating
administrative burdens placed on community health care providers. We expect
this will help us eliminate the current backlog of provider claims and help
ensure timely payment of clean claims going forward.
Supporting those who serve in the military is in our DNA. Partnering with
the Department of Defense since 1988, we are the nation’s longest-tenured
contractor for the TRICARE program, which serves active duty military
personnel and their dependents.
Health Net strongly supports VA's vision for a single community care
program that is easy to understand, simple to administer and meets the
needs of veterans, community health care providers and VA staff. We will
continue working closely with VA to help make this a reality.

We
then read and discussed the Defense Nuclear Agency March 1991 memo
stating how dangerous depleted uranium is and then the March 1 1991 Los
Alamos memo - order I was given as I started depleted uranium friendly
fire clean up following ground combat during ODS to lie in all reports
to avoid all liability for adverse health and environmental effects.

We
then finished of the program in memory of SSg Paul Lyons former co-host
who committed suicide one year ago on how to fix the broken VA system.
Before the crash- SUICIDE AN EMAIL FROM SSG PAUL LYONS
I
have had the privilege to have co-hosted With Doug Rokke And Denise
Nichols on Gary Nulls Radio Station, known as "The Progressive Radio
Network", out of New York City, regarding the various exposures that
occurred during Desert Storm, whether they be concerning Depleted
Uranium, Biological Warfare, and Chemical exposures; not to mention
experimental shots with records of them being given as well as Nerve
Agent pre-Treatment pills that we were ordered to take, that occurred
during Operation Desert Storm. I and well over 275K Troops are said to
be on the Gulf War Registry. I have also been exposed...I have two post
war Children who are also sick, including my wife. How's that for a
"Welcome Home Party"? The VA and DOD Need to Restart their Children
and Spouse Health Registry and get with program! We didn't ask for this
and I DAMN sure wouldn't have intentionally exposed my Wife and now my
sick post Gulf War Children, had I known that the birth defects and
Illnesses were transmittable...This has been a NIGHTMARE for my wife and
I. Someone In The Federal Government needs To Pick up the dropped ball
and GET WITH THE PROGRAM!! We Also Need New Congressional Hearing's,
from somebody in Congress with the backbone and fortitude of Former US
Senator
