    These make a whole lot of sense to me!

    Create a culture of accountability at the Department of Veterans Affairs

    Empower employees to speak up about wrongdoings.

    The department must be made to answer congressional inquiries in a direct, transparent and timely manner

    Increase the efficiency of service delivery and elevate the quality of care provided by the VA system to that found in the private sector.

    Increase medical options for our veterans.

    The first, in my opinion, is a bit lame. It should be – Make VA employees pay for mismanagement and even bring them up on charges when an investigation deems it appropriate. No more transfers to sweep it under the rug. :steamed:

    Or maybe we should just limit access to veterans hospital to veterans who served in combat and who suffered service related medical issues. I don't really understand why this country thinks it owes all veterans medical benefits for life.

    These are not solutions though. They are just saying....... "We'll increase productivity" <-------- ok, how? "We'll empower employees" <---- ok, how?
