And it's not "six months in". This is a program started under Obama in 2015. And the VA will need another two years to finish it. Four years and god only knows how much money they will spent so they can create software that... Is already being used around the country by every doctor, hospital, and healthcare system, etc.

But that's not even the point. The point is Trump and his team are trying to put a positive spin on the VA when in fact they've done nothing. This was a pretty big part of his campaign, wasn't it? All they did was put someone new in charge, fired some people, and continued doing exactly what was being done before and said "Okay, problem solved". Meanwhile we still have vets waiting to get their appointments.
