Don't they know that the administration will only cut medical staffing in order to make budget. The problem is addressing the corruption at the top &amp; trimming the fat there. Put more medical staff in place &amp; knock out the redundant back office workers.<br /><br />Sorry, there's a history w/ me on that...lol<br /><br />Good to see a brother Sir Knight on board!!!

I am so new to the VA system, I honestly don't know what to think of it.<br />Most folks I have met try to help in the system. Some don't care and don't try at all and they know they are the gatekeeper, so you flatter and be pleasant until they finally act.<br /><br />We have very few other options...
