Sad to say - the VA has been “broken” for a very long time

True. It has now come to a well deserved head. And, Obama owns it - ironic justice. Yet, I still will say to liberals, "Obama lied, veterans died".

What he meant is that the VA is highly unionized. As in our public education system this means efforts center on what is good for the staff rather than what is good for the veterans.

Yes, but the question is - will their deaths matter? Will THIS be the outrage that wakes the American people, to force their “representatives” to act to stop the treasonous enemies in our midst?

I doubt it.

Both parties? I suppose but refresh my recollection about which party advocates a VA type system for all of us? Which Party is it that protects incompetent, malicious public employees from being fired because they are owned by the unions? I mean, even if “he who is responsible for everything that Obama has failed to do” wanted to have “fixed” this what steps could “he who is responsible for everything that Obama has failed to do” have taken? Bring in private competition? Fire some of this non-fireable people?

I have thought for many years that honorably discharged veterans should receive a credit card at the time they leave the service that would be good at any hospital; the bills sent on to the VA or something like it.

Of all our citizens, why do veterans deserve second class health care?

Both parties have been aware of this issue since WWII & both parties have have only made it worse by allowing a further death grip of the public service unions around the throats of not only the Veterans, but everyone who has dealings with the gov.’t.

IMHO, both parties have only made it worse too. It does not matter who is in office or controls congress.

Her staff probably has a flowchart to deal with any issue. Personal responsibility and doing what’s right for the country isn’t on it.

Agreed, My dad died in a VA hospital and my memories are that it was the darkest, most depressing place ever. OTOH I have done some volunteer activities at our local VA and it has a modern appearance and a pretty good reputation. Privatization is the way to go.

Then she should have fixed it in during the past 8 years.

Is Pelosi having brain lapse problems?
