I used to take my dad to the va clinic and he got his appointments with about a two or three week wait but the real hassle was when you got to the clinic. It's like the post office. You wait all freaking day. And then after the doc sees you, he says they need to draw some blood, and there you are back out in the waiting room waiting for like two hours for them to finally call you and spend three minutes drawing the blood.

It was the same every single time i took him there.

Unbelievable. We'll see if any of these exec's get prosecuted, or if this becomes another nobody is responsible deal like the financial crisis. Just can't find anyone who did anything wrong. These guys let people DIE because it might have an impact on their bonus. Bastards should be taken out and shot.

the veterans are in a one payer system, so to speak. this is a typical result. ask people from the UK or Canada.

It seems to be this way all over the gov't. Treat the taxpayer with contempt and then make sure that the gov't agency is loaded up with ammo and sub machine guns. And for good measure, put out the word to homeland security that the people you have screwed over are potential terrorists. Like they have done with veterans.
