Getting Vets calling the suicide line on the phone within 8 seconds is a bad thing too I am sure.
What should be fixed and already gone 6 months in Rochard? Let's hear your plan. You've become a sad, hateful man.

What changes has he made? He appointed someone new, who made a single policy change, they had average turn over for a government agency of that size, and they continued to work on fixing the record keeping program which started in 2015 under the last administration.
You want to hear my plan?
We can start with opening up new locations. This was something Trump promised during the campaign. Has there been a study to determine where most of the vets are located, and what locations would be best? Is there a list of prior VA locations that were closed that could be re-opened again?
Why are we spending years writing some custom records keeping system? Do you honestly mean to tell me there isn't something we can just start using? I am pretty sure there is. You are talking about healthcare, and we have hundreds of millions of people who have healthcare? Trump promised to cut through the red tape and here is a perfect opportunity to do just that.
Why haven't they come up with some of a rewards system for good employees? Seems to me let go of some of the bad ones, but this just creates more work for everyone else and pisses off the good employees.
Yes, it's great that they changed policy so that people with a less than honorable discharge can get mental health benefits. You are making sound like I think it's a bad thing, when I am not. It's a simple policy change. Why not allow vets with less than an honorable discharge to get medical benefits instead of just mental healthcare?
I am not pissed that the VA isn't fixed. I'm pissed that people think it's fixed when nothing at all has changed. The original problem with the VA was that vets weren't able to get timely healthcare. Has that been fixed? Nope. Instead they fired people while increasing the amount of people who get benefits.
They didn't fix the problem. They made the problem worse and then claimed they improved things.
