Schmidt says Walter Reed claims "overblown"

Rep. Jean Schmidt wrote in her weekly column sent out to reporters on Monday that after hearing about the "deplorable living conditions" at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center from a Feb. 18 story in The Washngton Post, she decided to take "several hours" to travel to the hospital in Washington, D.C., to see the situation "first hand."

So what did our investigative congresswoman discover, only a month after the story broke?

"I toured all four outpatient housing facilities, and was pleasantly surprised to find that three of the buildings contained clean living spaces, updated television and computer access, and full access to cooking units or cafeterias," Schmidt wrote.

That's not all she found.

Schmidt: "I also toured Building 18, which is the focus of the Washington Post's story. This building, which stood empty for years and is slated for demolition, was put back into use for housing purposes due to the conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan . While I believe that this building is beneath the standard of what is acceptable, I think it is wrong to suggest that mold found behind an air conditioner somehow is an excuse to say that all of our veterans are receiving substandard medical care. It is important to remember that the building in question is an apartment building, not a medical facility. Further the building was scheduled to be torn down within two years.

"There is no question that Building 18 should have been upgraded or not in use at all. Postponing Building 18's demolition and allowing its use for living quarters was a poor management decision, and the decision makers should be - and have been - punished."

Her conclusion?

"I found the situation at Walter Reed to be overblown by both politicians and the media."

Schmidt is missing the point... I would agree that the situation at Walter Reed may have been somewhat overblown, but the subsequent realizations about other VA Hospitals nationwide was very legitimate. Outpatient care is deplorable considering how and why these people were injured. As a politician, Schmidt needs to focus on getting better treatment for our troops nationwide... not condemning coverage of a specific problem.

Jean's Schmidt's response to the intolerable conditions in Building 18 and the associated problems our returning veterans have had to deal with is indefensible. If the Washington Post's expose' and the resulting Congressional hearings are "overblown", why were top brass fired or replaced, and felt they had to resign their posts? And why did not Ms Schmidt attend the hearings, to hear for herself from wounded vets and their families the toll taken on these soldiers, who have lost parts of their skulls as well as mental health? Only two Republican Representatives had the nerve to face these soldiers in person at the hearings, and Rep. Young of FL, who knew of the poor conditions, said nothing for fear of embarrassing the Army, and, by inference, the Commander-in-Chief. Well, they should be embarrassed, as should Ms. Schmidt, for once again putting her foot in her mouth and insulting our veterans. Incidentally, the complaint has not been against the level of care by the medical personnel, as she infers, but against the poor planning and trying to care for our veterans on the cheap, which this administration has perpetrated, while wasting billions on contracts for facilities in a foreign land which will never be our ally. What and where are this nation's priorities?

I have a problem with Jean Schmidt's perception & visuals of the Walter Reed Medical Complex.

The US is an extremely wealthy nation & it cannot manage to take care of the veterans. There's something really wrong with that.

Other countries who aren't as fortunate as us, do take care of their veterans. They are provided with medical care, housing, pension/stipends, private retirement homes solely for the use of "war heroes", basically they are cared for the balance of their days.

Demand more from Congress. I did. In the meantime, Jean needs to get the barf off her back. Couldn't happen to a luckier person!

its unfortunate that schmidt has wasted any political capital she might ever have had carrying water for the most criminal administration in our lifetimes. her statement that walter reed claims are overblown is simply not believable.

do you regret who you voted for yet? had enough? vote democratic.

Jean Schmidt is a tool and an embarrasment to Southwest Ohio. It isa beyond my comprehension why this vile woman was ever re-elected. If she thinks the deplorable condition our fighting men and women must be subjected to is ok, then she needs to be bounced out of the House and bounced out of Ohio.

Shame on you Jean Schmidt - you are truly a Republican tool.

The Republicans tout their admiration for the troops but believe it is sufficient enough to plaster a yellow magnetic decal to their gas guzzling auto.

-Where was the contingency plan?

-Where was the body armor?

-Why the cuts in veterans benefits?

-why should wounded soldiers have to navigate the redtape in deplorable conditions for treatment?

Overblown-I think that describes Ms Schmidt's ego.

Another demo of Frau Schmidt's political tin ear. Who can forget when she denounced Murtha as a "coward" on the floor of the Congress?

She must either believe her seat is safe or that the majority of her constiuents don't follow the news. (Not that you asked, but I subscribe to both conclusions.)

As a Veteran I am insulted by these comments by the Congresswoman. Walter Reed Commanders know about building 18 for three years and did nothing. Where is her comment about the soldier in Ward 54 who hung himself. And no one found him for three days. Where is her comments about 151,000 returning troops on waiting list for health care. No more will we Veterans stand for lies.

Unless I missed something, not a single one of the commenters on this posting through the 3:36 pm, 3/20, comment has actually been to the Walter Reed medical center. Congresswoman Jean Schmidt toured the place at length. Her assessment is therefore one holy heckova lot more believable than ANY of yours. Until any of you go to the facility and take the same extended tour, your inflamed criticisms of Congresswoman Jean Schmidt's evaluation are just so much hot air and partisan BS.

Can it be any surprise that the media and the Democrats in Congress have their boxers bunched over her report? Of course not. I don't believe or accept any of the negative comments on this posting any more than I unquestioningly accept the biased criticisms of the Washington Post or the partisan barbs of stalwart, upstanding members of the Jackass party in Congress.

Also, is John Cranley going to run again in the Ohio 1st?

Jean Schmidt toured Walter Reed *a month* after the Washington Post story about Building 18. Of course it doesn't look so bad now -- the military sent the painters in the week the story broke. And Schmidt completely fails to address the more serious issues brought up by the Post -- including the veterans who were denied care because their records had been lost.

I am baffled about what Schmidt hopes to gain by praising a situation that the President himself has said was wrong.

When Democrats are elected there will be peace! Everything will be perfect. I don't care what rational argument anyone else has, the Democrats are right! Democrats will restore freedom of speech so thousands of anti-war protestors can finally march around the country and so Cindy Sheehan can organize! The media will be able to criticize the President finally! We are so suppressed w/ Republicans. We will finally be able to get top gov't officials to resign!

So TNP, we are to believe that several career officers were relieved of their duties for naught, and that the entire scandal is overblown just because some notoriously vicious (think Murtha) congresswoman says so? Not all of us drank the koolaid.

I really don't understand how anyone can dismiss the mountain of evidence regarding so many issues that point to this administration as incompetent (Iraq, Katrina, 9 Billion $ missing, Climate Crisis, trampling the constitution, Walter Reed Scandal, Outing a CIA Covert agent working on counter proliferation in Iraq and Iran, missing the warnings before 9/11 etc.) and operating without the best interest of the nation. It is totally beyond me (and thankfully it truly is as I can say I know no such people). Why don't you do a little research yourself and stop buying into the worn out talking points of those who are grossly profitting from this war! (or are you one of them?)

JEAN, IS THIS WHAT OUR MILITARY DESERVES:

In testimony to a House panel, the Government Accountability Office and Harvard professor Linda Bilmes detailed their study into the VA's claims system in light of growing demands created by wars. They found a system on the verge of crisis due to backlogs, cumbersome paperwork and ballooning costs.

The House hearing is the latest to review the quality of care for wounded troops returning from Iraq from emergency medical care at military hospitals, to long-term rehabilitation at VA clinics and eventual transition to civilian life with VA disability payments.

According to their findings, the VA:

Took between 127 to 177 days to process an initial claim and an average of 657 days to process an appeal, resulting in significant hardship to veterans. In contrast, the private sector industry takes about 89.5 days to process a claim.

Had a claims backlog of roughly 600,000.

Will see 638,000 new first-time claims in the next five years due to the Iraq war 400,000 by the end of 2009 alone creating added costs of between $70 billion and $150 billion.

Maintained a system for determining a veteran's disability that was complex and applied inconsistently across regional centers. Results varied; for example, Salt Lake City took 99 days to process a claim, while Honolulu spent 237 days.

Had antiquated technology for processing claims, such as unreliable old fax machines.

Walter Reed deal hindered by disputes

By DONNA BORAK
AP BUSINESS WRITER

WASHINGTON -- An Army contract to privatize maintenance at Walter Reed Medical Center was delayed more than three years amid bureaucratic bickering and legal squabbles that led to staff shortages and a hospital in disarray just as the number of severely wounded soldiers from Iraq and Afghanistan was rising rapidly.

Documents from the investigative and auditing arm of Congress map a trail of bid, rebid, protests and appeals between 2003, when Walter Reed was first selected for outsourcing, and 2006, when a five-year, $120 million contract was finally awarded.

The disputes involved hospital management, the Pentagon, Congress and IAP Worldwide Services Inc., a company with powerful political connections and the only private bidder to handle maintenance, security, public works and management of military personnel.

-snip

IAP is owned by a New York hedge fund whose board is chaired by former Treasury Secretary John Snow, and it is led by former executives of Kellogg, Brown and Root, the subsidiary spun off by Texas-based Halliburton Inc., the oil services firm once run by Vice President Dick Cheney.

The lesson we should learn from Iraq is that some people are capable of starting a war in order to escape public humiliation. On 1/18/2002 Halliburton stock (adjusted for recent splits and dividends) was trading at $4.61 on its way to becoming worthless because of bad decisions made by Dick Cheney the former CEO. On 12/16/2003 the company filed for Chapter 11. On 1/3/2005 Halliburton resolved the bankruptcy issue by agreeing to pay about $4.5 billion in asbestos liability claims. Obviously this money came from privatization contracts made possible by the Iraq war. On 4/21/2006 Halliburton's stock closed at $41.29 - almost a thousand percent increase from the pre-bankruptcy low!

The lies we heard from the WH and still hear were the product of a desperate man doing his best to stave off total humiliation. See http://www.orderfromrandomness.com/halliburtonstockprice.html... for a graphic view of the way Cheney had to be looking at the world in 2002.

Halliburton Pays Dearly but Finally Escapes Cheney's Asbestos Mess

By Allan Sloan
Tuesday, January 11, 2005; Page E03

It's time for yet another Halliburton story -- but not the one you may be expecting. This isn't about the endlessly scrutinized Iraq contracting business of the big energy services company that Dick Cheney ran before he became vice president. And it's not about Halliburton's profit-boosting accounting change during Cheney's regime, or the scandals and problems currently affecting some of the firm's far-flung projects.

Instead, let's talk about Halliburton's well-executed $5 billion escape from its asbestos problems, most of which Cheney created when he orchestrated Halliburton's purchase of Dresser Industries in 1998. Few people connect this problem with Cheney, but they should, given that he was in charge at the time and got a raise as a result of buying Dresser.

Dresser's asbestos problem was only a potential one when Halliburton bought it, but rapidly metastasized into a threat to Halliburton's existence. By then, though, Cheney had gone off to Washington.

Had he still been Halliburton's chief executive, Wall Street might have forced him to take responsibility for the asbestos problem he imported to his company. But because he wasn't around -- and because his successor, Dave Lesar, was a stand-up guy -- Cheney has largely escaped scrutiny for this fiasco.

So she tours the buildings three weeks after the report came out (which means it was a month or so after the reporters visited) and concludes that the initial concerns were overblown. And, by implication, that the subsequent revelations about the quality of medical care provided by the VA were likewise overblown. I think there may be a picture of her in the dictionary next to the definition of "partisan shill"? Perhaps the editor can enlighten us - why did the Enquirer endorse her again?

Read Rep. Jean Schmidt's constituent newsletter (below) and compare what she actually wrote with what's being reported by the media and condemned by the Democrats. She is not getting anywhere near a fair shake, and I just thought you folks ought to know it. The Democrats and their media accomplices are not giving us a factual, unbiased view on this matter, just like they do not report fairly about what's being accomplished in Iraq and in Afghanistan.

MY EXAMINATION OF WALTER REED ARMY MEDICAL CENTER



Washington, DC - Like all Americans, I was sickened to read about the deplorable living conditions that our injured soldiers were reported to have been subjected to at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, located here in Washington , DC . This week I took several hours and traveled to the Hospital complex to see the situation first hand.



Our returning troops, who have sacrificed so much for us, deserve our gratitude, respect, and the very best healthcare available. That is what makes this situation so alarming.



The Washington Post's two-part expose detailed a story of neglect and dilapidated living conditions, including mold, rodents, and faulty plumbing.



The Army responded swiftly to the reports with the new Secretary of Defense, Secretary Gates, removing Walter Reed's commanding officer and accepting the resignation of the Secretary of the Army. Several others were also dismissed or re-assigned.



The President responded by naming a bipartisan Commission on Care for America 's Returning Wounded Warriors, headed by former Senator Bob Dole and former U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Donna Shalala. The seven person commission, including two veterans injured in Iraq , a wife of a wounded solder, and other experts on veterans affairs and military healthcare, will conduct a comprehensive review of the care America is providing our wounded servicemen and women returning from the battlefield.



I decided to visit the Walter Reed Army Medical Center so I could take a look at the facility firsthand, and learn what is being done to address the situation. I toured all four outpatient housing facilities, and was pleasantly surprised to find that three of the buildings contained clean living spaces, updated television and computer access, and full access to cooking units or cafeterias.



I also toured Building 18, which is the focus of the Washington Post's story. This building, which stood empty for years and is slated for demolition, was put back into use for housing purposes due to the conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan . While I believe that this building is beneath the standard of what is acceptable, I think it is wrong to suggest that mold found behind an air conditioner somehow is an excuse to say that all of our veterans are receiving substandard medical care. It is important to remember that the building in question is an apartment building, not a medical facility. Further the building was scheduled to be torn down within two years.



There is no question that Building 18 should have been upgraded or not in use at all. Postponing Building 18's demolition and allowing its use for living quarters was a poor management decision, and the decision makers should be - and have been -- punished.

Needless to say, Building 18 is now empty, and will be demolished.



While I found the situation at Walter Reed to be overblown by both politicians and the media, I hope that future accounts will bring more light to the real issues. We need to do more to make sure that our veterans get the level of healthcare they desperately need. Which is why, in the supplemental bill the House will debate next week, there is $3.5 billion in new funding to improve the veteran healthcare system.



In light of recent events, several people have asked me about Cincinnati Veterans' Medical Center , which I have had the opportunity to visit on several occasions. I have toured this facility's operating rooms and living spaces, and visited with patients there over the years. In my experience, I have found this fine institution to provide quality care and outstanding service to our veterans.



Few issues are as important to me as those concerning our troops. That is why I went to Iraq last year to talk to our troops, and it's what led me to Walter Reed Army Medical Hospital this week to tour the facility. It's also why I support increasing funding by $3.5 billion for our veterans healthcare to ensure that they will receive the quality care that they so richly deserve.

The only things that are overblown are Mean Jean's alleged dedication to anyone but herself, and the dedication of Democrats to remove her. The moronic Democrats posting here are undermining their own cause by turning Mean Jean's rants into partisan slogans instead of working to turn more Republicans against her.

Mean Jean is on her way out. If Republicans don't get the job done in the primary, the full electorate will do it in November. If we want to hold this seat, the best thing we can do is vote out Mean Jean in the Republican primary. She has embarrassed our party and this district long enough.

And that says nothing yet about her insulting remarks about our soldiers. Forcing wounded soldiers to sleep in their own urine, shower with rodents, and live with mold is something that only a woman as wicked as Mean Jean would want. She is a horrible Congressman and an even worse human being. We Republicans need to clean out the trash, starting with this witch Mean Jean.

Johnny-one-note Jeff, you've written the same tired stuff through four elections over the past couple of years. No one is listening to you except your own little fanatic clique of COASTERs and Brinkman groupies. But as long as you are there, I'll be here countermanding your inept attempts at smearing Congresswoman Jean Schmidt's good name.

I don't blame you for calling her "mean." As I've written elsewhere, she has beaten every single candidate you and your cohorts have supported in the past four Second District elections. If I had supported four losers in a row, as you have, and they were all defeated by the same 93-lb marathon runner from Loveland, Ohio, I'd be calling her "mean," too.

And you called her an embarrassment. You're right again, but not in the way you think you are. She has embarrassed you and your zealot buddies in each of the last four elections by beating you. If I were you, I'd be embarrassed, too.

Yep, Congresswoman Jean Schmidt pays me all right, with excellent public service to me and all her other Second District constituents.
She has earned my respect.

As to your designation of me as "her boy on the blogs," I am, indeed, at least as consistent in supporting her and defending her as you are in trying to tear her down. And if you think that makes me her "errand boy," I would submit that you probably also think an athletic supporter is a sports fan.
