  • “I think it sort of disproves the general model of politics, which has been you have to be outraged in order to be amplified,” says Rep. Jeff Jackson on the success of his TikTok videos. “There’s no way that these videos are getting this kind of traction if the old model of outrage politics is universally true.”

It is quite rude to demand these people show up to answer questions, only to be made to sit there while these members of congress ask and answer their own questions in the most rude and demeaning manner possible.

    Short staffed is an understatement. It was short staffed long before I retired from the VA in 2015. The ability of medical providers to provide the kind of care they WANT to provide has been undercut by the continuous cuts, hiring freezes, and such that they can currently only spend about 20 minutes with each patient. If you are a new patient to them that time is not enough to get a full and comprehensive medical background done at all. Their ability to provide in-depth progress notes has also been undercut. Lack of nurses, physicians, physical therapists, clerical support, maintenance, etc. hurts us all. I spent 7 years in the Navy in the 70's and have gotten my care at the VA here for the last 15 years at least. Prior to that I had a civilian provider. Working there and getting my care there I have seen both sides of the equation and it is not very pretty. Kevin McCarthy and his cohorts need to stop stabbing veterans and the VA in the back and keep the promises that this country made to every veteran who gave their lives to its service and protection.

    • @SeldimSeen1
      @SeldimSeen1 Před rokem +3

      Also getting hired at the VA is a cumbersome process. This is one of the reasons they are short staff. The multitude of paperwork and background checks is exhausting. I can understand the need because of "national security," but most Doctors and nurses can get better pay elsewhere with less hassle.

    As someone who works at the VA, those words have come out of my mouth. I tell our veterans exhaustively "you have to hold this system accountable, because you deserve the best care possible." I am leaving the VA after 16 of the longest months of my life. The system and infrastructure are antiquated, which puts unneeded pressure on us providers. Thank you for your service, Rep Jackson. Veterans: please, keep demanding more from your Healthcare. Don't let the system get by with giving you the minimum.

I can't adequately describe the gratitude and humility I feel to work with such compassionate, competent, and dedicated folks. I work in outpatient mental health, among some of the most challenging situations you can imagine, and in my experience the social workers, clinical psychologists, nurses, admin staff, and technicians truly honor the values of patient care and service. In my experience medical doctors may or may not be skilled in actively and attentively listening to and caring for patients. I also have the great fortune to work for a VA center that is recognized for excellence in care.

    I started following Rep Jackson very early in his term through an Instagram algorithm bringing him to my attention. I knew immediately that he is what we as a country need in government. I commented that while I am not one of his constituents I greatly appreciate what he brings to Congress. That sentiment has only grown stronger for me in the ensuing months. Thank you so much Sir! 👏🏻👏🏻

    I was a Raleigher that ended up donating towards his campaign because he is the epitome of what we need in politics (honest and caring) right now. Excited to see where his career takes him and the difference he can make, inspiring others.
