Evidently, members of Congress are shocked at all these charges. Why? Didn’t they know this was a government run program?

The names of these VA criminals should be made public...as well as their email addresses.

Every Regional Director, and every Hospital Director should be fired, today.

That's a start.

Replace them with competent managers. Hold them responsible.

Then we can talk about money.
