Here's a thought. The VA was formed as a Gov bureaucracy many years ago to take care of WWI, then WWII soldiers' needs. Millions of these soldiers had nowhere else to turn for medical treatment and nursing home care. This was all before Medicare, Medicaid, etc. Now the WWII soldiers will be mostly gone in the next 10 years, and the Vietnam, Iraq, etc. veterans are much fewer in number and can be better treated by private facilities--paid for by an appreciative Government. The VA is a dinosaur, rotting, and cannot be fixed--let's stop throwing money at it and come up with a better alternative.
