There ya go. And every FredocRAT running for President wants to turn over our entire health care system over to the inept bureaucrats administering inept bureaucracies like The VA.

How about we abolish The VA and use the money to pay for vouchers for Veterans to see civilian doctors?

Wasn’t that an idea that the President floated during the campaign? Figure you could put a dent into some of the doctor and nursing shortages around the country if you got rid of the hospitals.

I agree. The VA is a boondoggle.

Because Disabled Veterans who RELY on the VA prefer the VA.

If you’re 50%+ Service connected disability, you’re treated like a king usually.

Would you deny them?

“How about we abolish The VA and use the money to pay for vouchers for Veterans to see civilian doctors?”

President Trump has made some headway on this by signing The VA Mission Act in 2018:

Join your local VFW or volunteer there and be an advocate for Veterans! :)

I got my last Mammogram for $30 and a biopsy that I needed for $50, both performed off-site. I don’t carry any other insurance other than my VA medical benefits.

I have stellar care at my local VA Hospital, but I know every Vet is not that lucky. :(

How about we put VA enployees, top to bottom, under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, with military prison the punishment prescribed for willful negligence or disobedience to orders.

And of course, if death results *imprisonment for any term or years or for life, or may be sentenced to death.*
