VA

The VA hospitals and the poor. Many veterans who have certain skills and better educations come out of the service and get jobs that provide health care in the private system. These vets are not adversely affected by the VA mess. The poorly trained and poorly educated must rely on the VA system for health care and they are the ones who are on the waiting list. The waiting list is the expected result of the way the system is designed. The VA is given a certain amount of money and told to provide services as dictated by the government. If they cannot meet the needs of their patients they are forced to delay treatment. The firing of a few people will not solve a problem that is built into the system.
