Yep. From the responses to your comment it seems that many on the left don't even know what those in their own party have up to, since many have been trying to get healthcare for illegals, and, hillary even ran on it.

Well the government is evil, remember? May as well privatize the VA and give the veterans all the Trumpism they can stand.

Democrats slow veterans' health care bill. Executive director of Concerned Veterans for America Dan Caldwell weighs in on 'Fox & Friends.'

The Democrats are being despicable.

Abolish the VA. It should only be a "claims processor". Let Vets go to any private hospital for routine treatment.

"She and other Democrats are concerned that the bill would diminish congressional oversight of the Department of Veterans Affairs, that it would go too far in outsourcing care and that it would not address some of agency’s biggest problems."


Congressional oversight allowed the management of the VA to deteriorate to the level it has. Does Pelosi and the dems expect to have their objections taken seriously!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




Obviously as a government controlled program the VA problems have survived and expanded thru several administrations, under the very nose of the congressional oversight committee.


Apparently the dems wish to continue a failed strategy, shirking oversight responsibilities and not take a 'chance' on out souring Veteran's care. Dems are like a cat hoarder whose house is raided and condemned for lack of care and unsanitary conditions.


In other words it is about stopping Trump initiatives at all costs.

GOP trying to pass anything to run on. Just like the fake tax cut, to be able to say they passed something through both houses.

You left out that once Veteran's get into the VA the problem is solved. It's the issue of getting DOD to get records to the VA in a quicker manner.
