These are some educated guesses about how the VA is run/administered:
Admin staff at each facility is bloated by 400% of that of a private hospital.
I am guessing this is where political supporters are rewarded for their campaigning efforts. My suspicions are most of which have never run anything in their background, why else would they be paid 3X the private pay scale.
Why due they have a policy that they can’t be fired without a act of congress?
Maybe so the next Party can’t replace them with their political supporters.
Why is a hospital system run by political appointments rather than people with hospital administration experience?

If they would get ride of the admin FAT at 300 of the largest VA hospitals only, they could save $2,000,000,000. a year.
If they hired one top hospital administrator for each of the 1,700 VA locations with full authority to hire and fire, they could save an additional $6,000,000,000. a year.
Remember this is our Tax Dollars being wasted and our Warriors that are dying!
Could it all be blamed on BIG government, still want it?
