IMMEDIATE ACTION WAS TAKEN!!!

Now nothing will change. Wingnuthead is already blaming bush.

Hale has a viable solution. Money quote:

3. Fixing the VA is easy and it will never happen.
â—¾Eliminate the VA. Close all their hospitals, clinics, and administrative offices.
â—¾Transfer their funding to the DoD.
â—¾Give DoD the mission to care for their vets, when care is warranted.
â—¾Issue vets who have service connected disabilities an insurance card with a zero deductible.
◾Issue all other vets a card that says, “Thank you for your service, you are on your own now.”

I would change the last line to read

â—¾Issue all other vets an insurance card with a reasonable deductible.

Otherwise, he’s a vet and I’m not, so he may be better suited to judge what is best. In any event the bullshit will now begin flying, and nothing meaningful will get done.
