The media is needed to tell people how the accounting fraudsters work. Government won't tell. The first thing the fraudsters do is divide, destabilize, and destroy the family they victimize. Divide and conquer. It's the perfect cover.
       

 

Secure Messenger Setup


I gave my POA ("VA Advanced Directive: Durable Power of Attorney For Health Care and Living Will, VA Form 10-0137") to the VA in Prescott, Arizona, shortly after January 30, 2009. I tried for years to get it out of the VA system and recind it. By law the giver of a Power of Attorney and Living Will can rescind it at anytime without having to justify it to anyone. The VA would not release it and made it appear as my fault. I was told different stories. When the VA insists on total control with no accountbility and gets it, it leaves the veteran with no control and no protection.

I tried to rescind the Power of Attorney I gave the VA in 2009. I started trying around April 13, 2013, using the VA's secure messaging program through My Healthe Vet account. I was given the runaround. Something between the VA did not have my POA or it was my fault that I couldn't get it. About amonth letter the VA  warned me that I was sending too many and if I continued they would block me from using secure messaging program through My Healthe Vet account.

This would make it appear that it is my fault that VA management is blocking me from rescinding my POA. On July 14, 2017, I learned that the VA had found my POA.

"Dear ANTHONY MINER OCONNELL
This letter is to address your misuse of secure messaging. You have written the same thing over 6 times and we have sent you the answer as many times. You MUST stop doing this. Your medications are not being withheld, they are being sent out. We have told you how to contact Release of Information each time regarding the copy of your advanced directives as we do not have access to them. The MSA, the socia1 alworker, pharmacist and I have all responded to you numerous times. If you do not stop misusing secure messaging, I will have to request from the overseer of secure messaging contact you and if necessary suspend your secure messaging.
Sincerely,
Randi Schmeling MS, RNP, ANP, BC"

"Dear Lisa Synco,
Thank you for finding my 2009 Power of Attorney in the VA records today.
I understand it is in something called "Keepers" when it was in "Vista". Or is it the other way around?
I understand that the VA will put a watermark on it that shows it has been rescinded. Please get me a copy. If you can't get a copy I surely can't. I surely can't. I know you said you can't print it out but there are different printers all over the Hospital.
Thank you. Have a good weekend.

Dear Mr. OConnell:

Thank you for the email sent on Saturday, May 30, 2020 requesting that the Power of Attorney entered into your electronic medical record on January 30, 2009, be removed. I shared the email with Ms.Frances Bishop, Veteran Experience Program Manager, and asked her to investigate and assit with your request.

"Ms. Bishop found that your Advanced Directive with Medical Power of Attorney (POA) designation was in fact rescinded by Ms. Debborah Josselyn, Social Worker for the Green Valley Community Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC) on May 18, 2018. You also asked Ms. Josselyn to send a copy of the document that shows the VA acknowledges your rescission. Please accept this letter as that acknowledgement. At this time, you have no identified POA listed in your medical record.

We understand that you prefer to communcate in writing, and we've verified that you have access to secure messaging through MyHealtheVet. If you'd like to complete a new Advanced Directive for Healthcare with POA please send a secure message to your care team.

At the SAVAHCS, providingquality and compassionate care is our top priority. Thank you for reaching out to us. If you have and questions or concerns about this letter please use secure messaging to communicate with Mr. Brradley Hogue, Patient Advocate for the Green Valley CBOC.

Dear Mr. OConnell,
I am writing in response to the concern you submitted to the White House Hotline, where you asked the VAto show that you rescinded the Power of Attorney that you provided to the VA. I have reviewed your medical record and most recently, on June 9, 2020, Ms. Michele Keck from the Northern Arizona VA Medical Center entered a "rescinded advanced directive" note into the chart. This note reflects that you have no current or active advanced directive on file with the VA. 
However, the power of Attorney was reminded May 11, 2018 at your request and that information was also provided to you on September 8, 2018, June 2, 2018 via a certified letter which you signed for, and May 29, 2018.
The Southern Arizona VA Health Care System is committed to providing high quality health care. I attempted to get in touch with you by phone, but there is no phone number available to reach you in our records. If you ave any other questions about the Advanced Directives please feel free to reach out to your Primary Aligned Care Team DSociasl Worker, Deborah Josselyn at 520-792-1450 x15764. Thank you.
