Since the Veteran's Affairs scandal broke in 2014, exposing the hospital system and government employees left thousands of veterans on long waiting lists leading to death, the agency has received an increase in spending to deal with the backlog and wait times.

Things have gotten worse, not better. Wait times have doubled and now, a horrifying report out of Illinois shows bodies of deceased veterans were left in the hospital morgue for months.

somebody in the know told me that the VA hospitals are run by non medical managers....people with absolutely no knowledge of health issues...

the local VA was going to build a type of clinic about 40 miles away...the idiot manager and his idiot secretary basically drew up the plans...

so the clinic was built with all these exam rooms...except there were no sinks....so the VA has had to pour in a million more just to add sinks...

this is typical for the VA....

the fed govt and the military also I'm afraid has a system for moving up in grade, etc...take a few courses on the internet, take a couple of tests, etc...and you get "promoted"...

which is why we have basic clerks working their way up to making medical decisions...
