The Veterans Affairs hospital in Washington, D.C., is so disorganized and understaffed that operations were delayed and patients put at serious risk, inspectors reported.
Staff have had to borrow equipment from private hospitals, plunder supplies and use their own purchase cards to buy essential equipment, the Office of Inspector General (OIG) report found.

Obama left a LOT of "messes" that need to be cleaned up.
Oh please, this is minor to what went on under Bush, do you recall the Walter Reed Hospital debacle and the deplorable conditions back in 2005 when Robert Gates fired the officers in the VA.
The system wasn't handling the veterans from Vietnam and we started yet another war being unprepared. The VA is in much better shape than it has been but certainly not on a level of private care. Taking one anecdote and generalizing does not amount to data.
This will be addressed as have other deficiencies, these employees need to be fired we will see if that actually happens months down the road.

I think if Trump just cut his secret service bill in half and sent that over to the VA, they'd be able to make some good improvements.
