PHILPOTT’S TAKE ON IT

Randy sent this in but I’m sure everyone who gets up on Saturday morning has coffee with Mr. Philpott. Shortly thereafter, I got it from Col. Dan, Bob the Leagle Beagle and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Notwithsatanding, here’s Tom’s column from this last Saturday. Seems like the vA is going to reinvent the triage trick as we mentioned. VBMS. Has a nice ring to it. I smell something stinky like rotten fish in there. This has all the hallmarks of the STAR Teams and many more which preceded it. After a suitable time we will be greeted by the OIG monkeys tripping over all the QC teams trying to figure out why this one augered in. $20 bucks says they’ll blame it on training failures and a lack of familiarity with the new product. Then it’s back to the old drawing board and a new acronym to fix the (v)BM(S).

Be careful which line you guys stand in. If you get in the wrong one, chances are you won’t find out for 125 days. Oh. Make that 625 days- 2015 is a ways out. You still get the 98% denial guarantee regardless of which one you stand in. Think how much money they’ll save doing it this way. The new tagline:

The new vA

Has got your Six

Our new DBQs

Are full of CUEs

But soon we’ll have

Your nexus fixed.
