NY 29: Where is Randy Kuhl on the VA Hospital unit closing? I think nowhere
As far as I know Randy Kuhl has not expressed outrage of the VA Hospital unit closing.
Hillary Clinton wrote a letter to the head of the VA, I’m fairly certain I heard on the radio that Chuck Schumer wrote a letter and, of course, Eric Massa the Democratic Candidate for NY-29 is all over it.
Where is Randy Kuhl on this? Oh, it appears he knew before hand. From our friends at the Fighting 29th.
(Update: A 10/25 D&C story quotes Van Wicklin as saying that Kuhl wanted the VA to wait to close the acute unit until a 22-bed sub-acute unit opens. It’s the range of services, not the number of beds, that counts. Also, as Rich wrote to point out, the D&C article says that Kuhl knew about the acute unit closing last week and stayed mum about it. )
I understand realignments and closures and all that. I really do but my issue is simply closing this unit was made in 2004. It is 2006. As I previously said in my first post on the subject, What may have been true in 2004 is certainly not true in 2006.
The politicans who represent us appear not to be able to change.
Iceberg dead ahead. The clock is ticking
