I worked at a VAMC. This doesn't surprise me in the least and when they started targeting active military I knew it was only a matter of time before they got to the vets. The whole place is full of wokies treating Patriots. What a set up. I knew a few good people there, but most were cruising to retirement on a government pension and could have cared less about the population they were there to serve. I do not think there was a week that went by where someone didn't piss me off due to their callousness and unwillingness to actually do their job. I was canned because I was rocking the boat and they didn't like it. I was never actually given a reason why but I knew I was singled out for being a patient advocate. I saw the handwriting on the wall when they stopped advising me about staff meetings. I was holding people accountable and that was unacceptable. I felt bad for the vets that were constantly having to fight that beast to get what they earned. The VA system were the true deplorables.
I always advised my patients that had other options to use them and leave the VA benefits for those that had no other place to go. Just because the right was earned, does not necessarily mean it should have been exercised. The strain on the system being utilized by those that could go elsewhere only meant there was less of the pie to go around for those men and women that did not have that luxury - which was usually the sickest of the vets. The bean counters were always looking for ways to cut services to meet financial targets and they had some pretty creative ways to make their books look good at the expense of the patients. The VA exists for the VA and not for the vets.
