Why don't they just get rid of the separate VA facilities, give all honorably discharged vets the same medical treatment that our elected "representatives" in D.C. receive and allow them to seek care at the facility of their choice?
REALLY simple solution!
Simple answer too many vets, too expensive. The VA should be eliminated, since obviously it's not doing the job it was intended to do. If it ever was to provide actual adequate coverage, the tab on it would be prohibitive. A better option, if one doesn't want to completely eliminate the program, is to maybe provide some sort of voucher, that allows them to go to the doctors of their choosing, and offset some of the costs.

Because no one wants to put the money into it. Vets are expenses, not assets, in the eyes of the decision maker.
