Which goes to the point of the need to fix the systemic issues. That’s the focus of his plan.
Hire more vets that actually care about other vets, fire incompetent managers, modernize the booking and management systems.
Also note that every hospital faces different staffing and patient population management concerns. Some have plenty of room, and some are at risk. San Francisco faces different challenges than Orlando, and Dallas is analagous to neither, etc.
For the hospitals and clinics with impacted populations, allow the use of out of system doctors without time comsuming and ridiculous hurdles. The system itself should flex to meet the needs of the vets, not force the vets to meet the needs of the VA.
Or, if someone just wants to ‘keep their doctor’ ... if that doctor accepts medicare, that doctor can be accessed readily.
This plan is almost commom sense at its core. I dont understand the resistance.
Great post! Send it to Trump.
