OIG Report on White House Medical Unit: Trump Administration gave away free brand name drugs and medical care

[DrDoug]

A quote from the report:

Without oversight from qualified pharmacy staff, the White House Medical Unit’s pharmaceutical management practices may have been subject to prescribing errors and inadequate medication management, increasing the risk to the health and safety of patients treated within the unit. Additionally, the White House Medical Unit’s pharmaceutical management practices ineffectively used DoD funds by obtaining brand‑name medications instead of generic equivalents and increased the risk for the
diversion of controlled substances.

We found that the White House Medical Unit provided a wide range of health care and pharmaceutical services to ineligible White House staff in violation of Federal law and regulation and DoD policy. Additionally, the White House Medical Unit dispensed prescription medications, including controlled substances, to ineligible White House staff. In analyzing the testimonies of
former White House Military Office employees, we found that White House Medical Unit senior leaders directed eligibility practices that did not comply with DoD guidance. This analysis also found that several former White House Medical Unit military medical providers stated that they were unable to act outside of the White House Medical Unit’s historical practices and that they were not empowered to deny requests from senior White House Medical Unit leaders. Additionally, we found that the White House Medical Unit did not follow DoD guidelines for verifying patient eligibility, and the Defense Health Agency and Service Surgeons General did not oversee the White House Medical Unit’s eligibility practices, as required by Public Law 114‑328, “National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017,” section 702.

As a result, the Military Health System did not bill non‑DoD beneficiaries for services rendered, and we found that the DoD funded and resourced care for an average of 6 to 20 non‑DoD beneficiary patients per week. Multiple former White House Medical Unit medical providers stated that they requested an early departure from the unit due to the unit’s practices.

Furthermore, we found that the National Capital Region Medical Directorate executive medicine facilities did not have consistent eligibility criteria for determining eligibility or access to care. This occurred because of a lack of oversight of executive medicine services.

As a result, medical care was prioritized by seniority rather than medical need, which increased the risk to the health and safety of non‑executive medicine patients.

You would think that this story would have been big news, right? It would be news if it was the Biden administration that did this but since it's the wannabee dicktater that the media has been humping the leg of for the last eight years it's not news. Conservatives complain about government waste and then not only engage in it but add distributing free narcotics to their family and friends as the icing on the crime cake. Taxpayers were ripped off by these crooks and all we hear about is Hunter Biden.

How about we go after the people who got free care and medications and have them pay for the services they were not entitled to? How about we charge the repsonsible parties with the crimes that anyone else would be charged with for operating a pharmacy without any oversight or accountability? Read the whole report, it's absolutely nuts.

No wonder Donny Jr. was lit and glassy-eyed all of the time. Trump and his family are a crime scene in progress everywhere they go.

And this is the magic of Trump. He floods the zone with so much bad shit and crimes the ones who talk about it or attempt to prosecute are seen as the bad guys.

Pubs are geniuses at jujitsu. Like the bad people are the ones who talk about racism not the ones who commit it.

E Jean Carroll was successful getting Trump found libel for sexual assault. She won a monetary award. He continues to defame her and she keeps going back to court for additional fines. I wonder if she is seeing any money? Will he be able to appeal forever?

Do enough bad shit and you are never held accountable. Like the old axiom if I owe you $100 it’s my problem. If I owe you $10M it’s your problem.

The magic of Trump

Clearly this is not an issue because God wants Trump to be President

Nothing matters to Trump's supporters except that he must, he MUST be reelected in order to save the nation from the grips of the evil brown people poisoning the blood of America. They will tolerate any crime Trump commits because they've been conditioned to believe that his election got stolen from him and that justifies anything and everything Trump has done in order to "make things right".

Most of them know that if he gets back in office he will once again be sheltered from being pursued by "The Deep State", be able to resume his right wing racist MAGA efforts, resume his efforts to help Putin break up NATO into tiny little pieces and of course, grinding our democracy into oblivion with his designer shoe heels.

He literally wants to run the nation the same way he runs his crooked crime family businesses, converting the might of the nation's military into his personal iron fisted goombah enforcers, wreaking revenge and state sponsored retribution on his enemies.

Before 2016, I’d assume doctors that get into the WH would be incorruptible. But then we saw “oh he could live to 200” Ronny Jackson. So this story hardly a surprise. But he was part of Obama’s team. So was he always a douche or his Repugican came out in 2016?

They were giving out speed and downers like candy, no wonder trump was always sniffing.

The "Ronny Jackson effect". Dude was like a PEZ dispenser with a scotch IV drip.

Steal a little and they throw you in jail.
Steal a lot and they make you king.

Steal a little and they throw you in jail.
Steal a lot and they make you king.

Crystal Mason given 5 years in prison for casting 1 provisional ballot.

Republicans who some have submitted dozens of fraudulent ballots have yet to see any serious jail time. Trump tries to steal an entire election and he gets to run again

All decisions were lubricated with alcohol. Remember Trump's doc?

Yup, the one who said that he's as fit as He Man and weighs 239 lbs...lol! I think ol' Doc was dipping into the hallucinogens while handing out the prescription candy. What is especially galling is that us proles get stuck with generic equivalents and they get the real deal for free. There would be nonstop howls of outrage if this was done under a Democrat. There is no "liberal media" out there, it's all owned by the rich and staffed with stenographers and presstitutes.

Our media wants controversy, division, hatred and all that as news to report because it drives clicks and views, which is all they are in business for. Biden is boring, Pussy Ass Bitch is exciting!
