What amazes and astonishes me is that Sinseki, a retired FOUR star General and the former Army Chief of Staff, could not sort out the VA!

Who are they going to find, particularly since the Ophonybama administration is a real-life incarnation of the gang that can’t shoot straight, to fix VA?

It is broken so bad, and the embedded Unions are so corrupt and controlling, VA probably cannot be fixed. Certainly not by anybody that the Ophonybama Regime could stomach.

I’d recommend disestablishing or totally privatizing the VA!

Money saved by closing VA could be used to provide private health care for Veterans, like the Tri Care for Life program already in place.

And, we’d all be better off!

The problem with giving people vouchers is that there’s no guarantee they’d be able to find a doctor or hospital to take it.

The problem with getting care outside the VA is when it comes to getting or keeping disability. The VA treats any treatment outside the VA as if it didn't happen thus the 3-5 year backlogs for Vets to get rated.

They will also drop or lower your disability if they think you don't have the disability anymore. If your disability rating gets lowered you lose pay and/or benefits etc..

I have Tricare and a private insurance but still use the VA because I want everything on their official record.

If I have an emergency I use Tricare at a real hospital so I get treatment from real ER doctors.
