This whole "scandal" about the VA is another run on rails Shock Doctrine scheme to sell off the VA assets to the private medical corporations. Once the VA hospitals are sold off the veterans will quickly loose any benefits. The money that would have been spent to care for our veterans will be sucked up into corporate profits.
You could see this coming back when under Bush the Lesser, they "had" to close Walter Reed VA facility due to substandard facilities. It was the test case to see if they could steal the VA assets without protests from the veterans and taxpayers. First step is underfund and drive maintenance to nothing so facilities start to become run down, then you cut staffing and put on ridiculous workloads so the staff can never catch up, then you get a corporate news media to "blow the whistle" on the poor care. Then, you appoint a corporate raider who will determine that all care will be best if "privatized". Final step is to give all the money that should be spent on care of veterans to the corporations while neglecting the veterans who will be getting next to no care in the private care hospitals.
Shock Doctrine, somebody should write a book and blow the whistle on the theft of public tax dollars. Oh, that's right Naomi Klein did write that book, but the news media ignores it.
Post Office, public schools, military, public roads are all being attacked to benefit private corporations, now the VA is on the chopping block.
