He was well on his way to doing just that....until some STUPID HORRIBLE woman at a Pence event told Pence to make sure to tell DJT NOT to close the VA and go private. She went on and on, telling him how wonderful it was and why he needs to make sure it still continues.
Pence said he would relay the message.
After that, DJT stopped saying he would take it private. Instead, he began to say vets could go to a private provider WHEN the VA couldn’t see them promptly.
Sadly, that’s quite different from his original position. I am so pissed at that woman, whoever she was.
I have friends who like the local VA hospital. They actually have good things to say about the hospital. I think Donald hasn’t made a decision yet. He’ll probably let his team on the VA look in and study the best care. Nothing is written in stone. Donald said at many of his rallies changes take place when one is learning. I see changes going on all through his term.
Right-wing if the VA doesn’t clean up their act you can bet it will be privatized Trump will give his people a certain amount of time to clean it up if unions obstruct Trump WILL privatize!!! Trump does NOT tolerate incompetence and he is NOT beholden to the unions!!!
