We do not know how long this has been going on
It a regulation problem. They have been told to place certain people on permanent hold waiting for appts
Bush was not a great potus and the va has always had flaws but lets not ascribe this obamadontcare attitude onto them
Have proof that this was going on before ? Or is it a ‘feeling’ or opinion that you think brings it to the level of fact
I am as big a supporter of W as anyone. I voted for him4 times
But yes problems have been going on at the VA before the POS 0dumbo.
We know Bush’s team alerted 0dumbo’s team during the transition
So did they flat out say wait times were being manipulated? since they haven’t said what was in the report we don’t know.
MUCH of the current problem is actually due to Clinton opening up VA care to anyone who served, even as few as 2 years but he did not increase the number of medical care team.
This is ramping up now as so many more come back and get out, tie this to the high unemployment rate and it is easy to see the issue
NONE of that excuses what is going on
but please do not put words in my post. Bush cares more for the vets than either Carter Clinton or this POS ever will
So you asked if I have “ proof” this has been going on?
or did I just “ think “ it
here from wash times
‘The Obama administration received clear notice more than five years ago that VA medical facilities were reporting inaccurate waiting times and experiencing scheduling failures that threatened to deny veterans timely health care — problems that have turned into a growing scandal.
Veterans Affairs officials warned the Obama-Biden transition team in the weeks after the 2008 presidential election that the department shouldn’t trust the wait times that its facilities were reporting.
