Hi MMCHeya Moot.It appears to have kept getting worse under BO?
Veteran Affairs Dept Budget
2014: $154B
2006: $73B
Wait Time in Days for Care
2014: 360
2012: 255
2010: 115
2008: 110
US VA Affairs data.....snip~
Now.....it has been shown that from 2007. That BO knew some of it back then. But it still doesn't explain why things kept getting worse every year Obama has been in Office. That's just on the wait times alone.
The accounting fraud by someone in the VA might explain part of the long wait time but a huge influx of wounded veterans that the VA wasn't prepared for might explain most of it, as well as a lack of doctors. The doctors at the VA in SLC work pro bono and others work as part of an agreement to pay off their college debt and only stay on average about two years. The wait time for an appointment there is one month and so my dad goes in every month to have his meds checked.
