VA secretary: Disney doesn´t measure wait times, so why should VA?
Washington Examiner ^ | 5/23/16 | Sarah Westwood

Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert McDonald on Monday compared the length of time veterans wait to receive health care at the VA to the length of time people wait for rides at Disneyland, and said his agency shouldn´t use wait times as a measure of success because Disney doesn´t either. "When you got to Disney, do they measure the number of hours you wait in line? Or what´s important? What´s important is, what´s your satisfaction with the experience?" McDonald said Monday during a Christian Science Monitor breakfast with reporters. "And what I would like to move to, eventually, is that kind

This guy’s notice of termination would be on his desk an hour after he uttered those words if I had anything to say about it.

In some countries, you can be fed to the dogs for a stupid answer like that.

I don’t think people are dying while waiting in line at Disney. And the whole time you are at Disney, they work very hard to be sure that the experience meets your quality expectations. VA Medical care: Not so much.

It’s as if the shadowy cabal for which Obama fronts went out of its way to pick arrogant, anti-American jerks for positions of authority throughout their administration.

It’s true. Not one single dead veteran has complained.

Ummm, actually yes, they do measure the amount of time you wait in line. I don’t even need to say what I think about comparing healthcare for veterans to going to an amusement park.

Wow, not only dumb, but factually inaccurate. Disney puts a lot of work into managing wait times. And they don’t even have people dying while they wait.

Who wins the POS award? Head of the VA or head of the IRS.

Disney does measure wait times. Disney reports wait times to customers. Disney works to reduce wait times. And I have never seen anyone wait five months for “It’s a Small World”. If the VA could provide same-day service to all its patients, there would be far fewer complaints.
