The VA Doctors

The problem with the Veterans Administration medical system is that they have not hired enough doctors.  They don't pay enough to attract the people they need. The system is inadequately staffed, so at many sites the patients have to wait for months to see someone. How hard is that to understand?

Did some VA bureaucrats fake records and try to cover their rear ends? Apparently, yes. Did General Shinseki fail to solve the problems? Apparently, yes. But the core issue is that our elected political leaders are too cheap to fund the medical staff we need. We put these leaders in office. Rather than get help for wounded veterans, they enact tax cuts for the 1%. How hard is that to understand?
