VA Secretary Still Deaf After All of the Issues at VA Hospitals

Well, who appointed him?
He belongs at Disney...in a Goofy costume, picking up trash.
Actually Disney wait times are better and they actually research plans of action to improve the wait times. Maybe Goofy would be better at serving as head of the VA than this clown.
Wow, comparing wait times for entertainment to wait times for medical care - that's truly next level stupid.
This dude is a West Point grad and retired as the President, Chairman and CEO of Proctor and Gamble. It makes you wonder why he's not getting in the weeds and eliminating some the inefficiencies that plague the VA.
I think my first task as VA Secretary would be to walk through the process with a current VA applicant and determine those bottlenecks and look for solutions. But, hey, that's just me.

Screw the VA. The only good they are to me is my monthly (underpaid) pension and that's it. Otherwise I go to Urgent care because the VA organization is completely worthless. I don't care if I have to spend more money if it means less waiting time. Once again screw the VA...until change is made.

He is a politically correct moron just like the rest of them. I don't care where he went to school, he's been corrupted.
I severely dislocated my shoulder last week. I need to see an orthopedic and have a mri to determine what type of (likely) surgery i need. After 2 days and 20+ phone calls between tricare and redstone, i have found out neither will cover a dime, but i can get medicare starting in july 2017, Yay. So I called the VA and after they put in the request in a "couple" of days, the Birmingham office has 30 days to respond. So, yeah, this hits close to home. Emergency room doc that put it back in said to make sure I saw an orthopedic within a week. So I can either pay 100% of ortho and mri etc. and get seen soon, or wait for the VA and risk my shoulder. I wish i knew the danger of waiting as I really don't need to spend that kind of money but i don't want to risk long term problems by waiting either.
And, who was the senator who said that all of the problems at the VA that were being talked about in the media were just made up stories by Republicans and Conservatives? The Bern himself!
For Tricare to approve anything you have to go to your primary care provider, they can then do an emergent consult to get you seen.

Go to the ER, speak Spanish and only scream in pain when they ask you questions. You will get what you need and they won't know your name.
If we had a president who sincerely cared for our military....this load of BS wouldn't be tolerated.
VA care has been awful for a lot longer than seven years, so while Obama has failed to address this and make it right, be careful before you start slinging rocks...
Agreed. The VA is a joke. It's not funny, though. And it's been that way for a long time.
