The solution to the substandard care given by “union goons” masquerading as VA Hospital workers, is to sell off the VA facilities to private companies without any provision for any “worker retention.” This gives veterans better healthcare and eliminates the need to go through the odious process of firing the majority incompetents who currently staff the facilities.

i have to say that I’ve had the best medical treatment I’ve had in my life her from the Boise VA, and I was on H-P medical insurance for my whole career.

I only dropped the HP retirement insurance a year ago because they kept raising the premiums every year without paying for much of anything.

It’s glaringly apparent you are not a vet who gets his care from the VA. Perhaps you ought to let them decide the best course.

Almost universally, veterans in priority group 3 and above will say VA care is the best they have ever had, anywhere, anytime.

And VA facilities offer services that are specific to vets and unavailable anywhere else. VA prosthetics and reconstruction of limbs is the best in the world.

Bar none.

The VFW, DAV and American Legion all support keeping the VA facilities and services.

Why don’t you?

As a veteran of 30 years of financial management in "for profit" hospital corporations, I know first hand that it is quite possible to exchange substandard care in the public sector for substandard care in the private sector. Do not assume that the private will necessarily be better as long as it is paid for by the federal government on a low bid basis.
