What do you think about Legislation would better protect whistleblowers at VA and government-wide from retaliation

The Dr. Chris Kirkpatrick Whistleblower Protection Act is named after Dr. Chris Kirkpatrick, a psychologist at the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Tomah, Wisconsin, who was fired after he questioned the over-medication of veterans being treated at the facility. Tragically, Dr. Kirkpatrick committed suicide on the day of his termination.
"We have heard far too many stories of federal employees getting punished for doing the right thing and speaking up about misconduct or mismanagement,” said Senator Ayotte. “This bill will put in place needed protections across the federal government and specifically at the VA while sending a clear message that retaliating against whistleblowers is unacceptable and has serious consequences.”
“This legislation is directed at providing VA whistleblowers protection to help prevent tragedies like the suicide of Dr. Chris Kirkpatrick."

So, do you think this will work? Will this Legislation stop all the bullshit and get things back on track at the VA? God, I hope so because something has to shake up the VA to get it to work the way it was intended for all of our Veterans in need.
