Veterans aren’t the only ones waiting for health care.

Once again - I hate to move into politics, but I thought this article gave a good explanation that the problem isn't the VA, it's our system that isn't prepared for the rapidly aging baby boomer population and a reluctance to move into 21st century health care policy:

Here is a kicker for you, I lost count on how many times either I or one of my Soldiers have called the TMC and was told that there are no appointments to see their PCM. The problem isn't just the VA. I have been telling my Soldiers that they should file an ICE comment ever time a service or system is either not working or not to standard.
When I finally did see my doctor, it was an appointment that was set to time not to find out what the problem is and solve the problem. What is the medical system coming too.
