Privatization. No. But, not all VA's are equal. Ex: My WWII veteran father received very good VA care in Ann Arbor MI. Very good. He moved to Southern CA and VA failure almost cost him life. Replaced VA w/ private ins + Medicare. Today healthy and 93.

Similar experience for my WWII vet dad — one VA location pretty good, the other VERY bad. Good for you for taking charge, and best wishes for your dad!

quick question: have you ever spoken to a veteran?
-
Just to get out in front of this: not a pet doctor. A prior member of the armed forces.
-

-
I was about to go off. Glad I read that clarification.

Thank you for shining a light on what a mess the VA (socialized medicine) is.

If our government representatives had been forced to go on tri-care for a year before being allowed to vote for the affordable care act it never would have passed

You are poorly informed if you think the VA is so great. I guess you have forgotten about all the news stories about Vets dying while waiting to get treatment. If you feel it's so great why not give up your congressional health plan and use the VA.
-
Um, she's not saying that at all. She's saying the VA SHOULD be great. But assholes like you are getting in the way of the people trying to make that happen.

Yeah, and the Soviet Union should have been a worker's paradise. There is no problem so big, no system so inefficient and broken, that government bureaucracy can't make worse. However, some good news: https://healthitanalytics.com/news/71-of-veterans-affairs-hospitals-improve-on-care-quality … Just had to get rid of that last admin ...

Here is truth just in case you care...tri-care is universal health care and it sucks. Long wait times, sub-par docs, opioid pushing, lack of patient record sharing bureaucracy. I shudder to think of how the VA will treat me when I retire. Enjoy your gold standard healthcare plan.

Our vets deserve better!!! Also, she doesn’t care. It’s all about making cheap, partisan attacks. The nightmare of the VA spans several presidencies and we need to be taking care of the people who defend our freedom instead of giving handouts to ppl from other countries. Period.

The VA has tons of money. I work there. I see it getting spent everyday. Throwing more money at it isn't going to change anything. If you want to fix the vacancies, fix the onboarding process because its absolute hell.
-
Very curious about your experiences. What do you think the money tends to get spent on?
-
As far as the onboarding process goes, when you get hired as sometime who is not already a Fed employee, you start as a non employee contractor with low pay, no paystubs or taxes taken out of income, no benefits or workers comp. until the onboarding process finished 1/?

Which is supposed to take 1-3 months, but never does. I've been there 6 months and have only been able to do the first step, filling out forms for a background check, still need a physical, fingerprints taken, getting an ID badge. The turnover rate is high because of this shit.
-
The red tape to get hired is amazing. My daughter works in a specialized field Biomedical Equipment Engineer. When she left the army she applied to VA she ended up working for GE. Couldn’t wait 3+ months to go through the initial hiring process.
