Michael Welsh Emails
Clueless Beyond Belief
Denying Healthcare - 88,000 Veterans At A Time
Events like this will continue forever... unless veterans stand up for ourselves and expose VA wrong doing. Here's my January 2023 attempt at getting healthcare from the Phoenix VA.
I have a serious healthcare need which the Phoenix VA has miserably failed to address. All attempts at getting help with this VA insanity, result in absolutely zero help. It's a bureaucracy for certain and it's broken beyond belief.
Spoiler alert: Another month gone and the Phoenix VA still hasn't provided healthcare. They can't even figured out that I'm asking for healthcare.
It took lawyers, but I finally got contact information for the "Deputy Director" of the Phoenix VA, Michael Welsh. I label him the most clueless person I've ever encountered, or the most deceitful piece of crap on the face of the Earth. I don't give a pile of rat turds which one he turns out to be. Either way, I'm still denied healthcare.

The major issue I begged for help resolving was sent to Michael Welsh in several emails. He read each of the emails. The proof is on this VA Exposé webpage His response to them is... confused? He didn't even understand that I was asking for help, regardless of how desperately and blatantly I made the request.

"I have been in the VA system since March of 2015 and I still have no diagnosis for the reason I'm in a wheelchair. There has been no real attempt at diagnosis. I cannot even get one of your Doctor Pretenders to put my symptoms in the computer."
He replied with no mention of my request to fix the VA's problem. He only spewed VA supporting rhetoric without recognition of my request for healthcare, which the Phoenix VA has failed to provide for nearly eight years.
Quote from email #2 to Michael Welsh. ALL CAPS!!! I'M YELLING IT AT HIM NOW!!! WILL HE HEAR ME THIS TIME??? That's a silly question. Clueless or belligerent, either way he's showing himself to be worthless.

"MY SYMPTOMS ARE NOT IN THE RECORD!
THERE IS NO DIAGNOSIS FOR THE REASON I'M IN A WHEELCHAIR!
THERE IS NO TREATMENT FOR THE REASON I'M IN A WHEELCHAIR!"
I can prove he read the email, but he didn't even reply... so no help solving the VA's long standing problem.
Do I give up? Nope. I'm determined to get the healthcare my country promised it would provide, if I found myself in this situation.
Here I am Michael Welsh, don't you dare tell me again: "As a Veteran myself, I will stand up for those who served" Those words from him are pure mindless self serving rhetoric. Pal, you can't even recognize a desperate plea from a veteran. You certainly won't "stand up for those who served."

"Honest intent would result in honest reaction to the revelation that your organization has not even entered my symptoms into the computer. That's not what they did. That's not what you did. It's dishonest intent and supreme arrogance which ignores basic medical needs, in favor of supporting a broken bureaucracy."
Michael Welsh is pure spin spewing bureaucrat. He replied to this email with zero recognition of the VA problem I was begging for help to solve.
Mrs. Welsh, your little boy Mikey is worthless.
I sent him a fourth email with 100% confidence that it would do no good. That deaf dumb and blind kid, sure spews rotten rhetoric. (apologies to the Great Elton John)

"I CANNOT GET HEALTHCARE FROM THE PHOENIX VA"
"I've beaten you over the head with this fact and you cannot even acknowledge it. You need to pull your head out of the VA toilet and (wash your hair first) get a grip on reality. I YELL IT AT YOU AND YOU STILL DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT I NEED."
My first email to him was last October. He was a worthless bureaucrat then... also. That email began with this quote:

"Two months ago you apologized when the Phoenix VA forced me to take a problem to Tanya Bradsher. Now that I have a method of contacting you it seems appropriate to give you the chance to solve a problem locally, before I utilize solutions outside the Phoenix VA."
Well Mikey, you've categorically proven you deserve nothing but disrespect.
Bye-bye...
