At last I came across a blog post praising VA care

 i worked  in Dallas  VA hospital for  12 years  and  had  good  relations  with  a number of veterans.
most of them  are  appreciative of the services  but the genral feeling   except for their  praise for individual doctors  was  that  VA  SUCKS.
I had a good opinion of  VA  and it's protocols.
if only they  can train a few  clinicians  instead of  nonclinical  people to run the  administration things will be even  better .

I came across this Blog post  which  for the  first time  talks in glowing terms  about  VA care

I’m an Ex-Health Plan CEO. I Used to be a VA Critic. Then I Became a Patient.
