Amid concerns about the stability of the agency, records show nearly 40% of the doctors offered jobs at the VA from January through March of this year turned them down — quadruple the rate of rejections for the same period a year earlier.

@ProPublica I have been in the VA system for over 50 years I and many others can tell which party controls the purse strings by what help we get. It's not the Democrats reducing funding and care. To watch the amount of work the men/women do with less and less is a sad statement about our nations support for it's veterans. The chaos over the last 6months is far worse than I have seen, just how hard the folks in VA have to work to help us is appalling. There are endless funds for war but . .
@ProPublica I know no one really cares but when I go to the VA for care I'd prefer to stay at the VA and not be farmed out to community care. All that's required is for patient care stable not new bandaid programs to fix what's broken.

We spent 20+ years at war we have a lot of broken service members and it's the governments role to fix them not the local hospital
