If the VA needs to be better then fix IT but don't *F* it up for the rest of
the Nation.

Hospitals so degrading and poorly run that
the definition of the group researched in this
study was "Veterans between the ages of 18 and
64 who were uninsured in 2008. Veterans were
only classified as uninsured if they neither
had health insurance nor received ongoing
care at Veterans Health Administration (VA)
hospitals or clinics."
They found 1,461,615 veterans in this category.
I think that pretty much says it all about the
quality of VA care. 1,461,615 people went with-
out health care rather than take advantage of
the "free" health care at the VA.
My premise stands. America has a "no survival"
policy for its soldiers. If it can't get them
killed in foreign wars, it'll finish the job
at home.
