U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs sent this bulletin at 05/12/2017 09:35 AM EDT
Attention Veterans: Imposter phone line attempting to access credit card information from Choice Program users
VA is taking action in response to a phone line that appears to be set
up to take advantage of Veterans who misdial the Veterans Choice
Program phone line.
Via the New York Times: "Dr. Shulkin came to the Veterans Affairs department expecting to find a
less efficient copy of private health care that would be
straightforward to streamline or even privatize. His first clinical
visit, with an intoxicated double amputee Vietnam Veteran at a hospital
in Manhattan, taught him that it would not be so easy."
Rory Cooper was in the Army serving in Germany when a bicycle accident
left him paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair. That event has shaped
his life’s work on behalf of the disabled as a research biomedical
engineer.
