As a user of the VA, this is BULL PHUCKY. The VA needs help simply because Congress and multiple Administrations have short changed the agency for years. Example, pull $1Billion from funding just as you are starting a war, then ask why is there a problem… DAH!.. Fuck Congress for their “Support Our Troops” efforts. This latest move is another of the many to dismantle one of the few agencies that actually work.

If they spent the billions on hiring more VA doctors and improving facilities that they are sending out to local hospitals and doctors the VA would be fine. This is more effort to privatize the VA.
