2. All Small Problems

Clerical, storage, unqualified in one aspect of care. Bullshit article.
The "Concerned Veterans for America" group they mention is a fake Vets group
created to complain about the VA. It is Koch brother sponsored front group
Look, there is an organized effort to privatize the the VA so business can
make a profit. These report were done by VA inspectors. They are trying to identify
and correct problems. This is all they can find? Even Hillary (who I distrust) has
said the problems are not that widespread. I know they aren't.
These are petty, nitpicking items.
Don't spread this kind of info. It's not helpful.

I've used world class hospitals and I've used VA hospitals. I think the VA
does a much better job when it comes to Veterans health care. I've had
some very tricky operations @ VA facilities. They bring in well qualified specialists
from other hospitals if necessary. At for profit hospitals you are just another cash-cow.
At VA hospitals they treat you like a person. They listen to you, they get get to know you.
Your records are available if you travel and need to use a different VA hospital.

I just scheduled cataract surgery for the end of November.
They even booked me a nearby hotel room
so can I be close by for the next moring followup. (I live 60 miles away)
