A key passage on page iii reads:
Our reviews at a growing number of VA medical facilities have thus far provided insight into the current extent of these inappropriate scheduling issues throughout the VA health care system and have confirmed that inappropriate scheduling practices are systemic throughout VHA. One challenge in these reviews is to determine whether these practices exist currently or were used in the past and subsequently corrected by VA managers.

I wonder why it is important for us to elect principled leaders who will keep America’s promises to our vets.
I wonder why electing unprincipled people for the sake of ‘winning’ is a bad plan.
Yup. It’s a mystery alright.
...and to think we treat prisoners and terrorists better than our own veterans...a disgrace.
I’ve heard negative comments and jokes about the VA for decades. Sad and disgraceful it’s taken this long to get real attention.
Well, if it’s “systemic”, then the head guy has got to go. That kind of inattention is inexcusable.
Well my PCP in Phoenix has been removed. Now I am left trying to schedule an appointment with a new provider for my physical which is 7 months over due.
If this is from the VA itself, it MUST BE worse than they are reporting.
