Congressional auditors have listed the VA healthcare system a high risk. http://www.stripes.com/news/us/congressional-auditors-va-health-care-is-high-risk-1.328794

The Department of Veterans Affairs' vast health network — beset by a scandal last year over delayed care — has been listed for the first time as a high-risk federal program by the Government Accountability Office.

Not surprised with all the horror stories after the scandals broke.

Ah, yes, why I suffer through paying Tricare Standard and get treated at Joint Base Charleston vs. getting a VA Card :/
Then again, I can't stand the healthcare treatment machine and usually just work through the pain until it's too much to handle.

I wonder how much this report cost us. I could've told them the same thing for a good bottle of bourbon.

Once again our steller elected officials in Congress have spent a million dollars to find out something which we, the people and especially veterans and retirees who use the system could have told them with the activation of a "toll free number or a dedicated text message number.

Or all they had to do was watch the TV for the 6-8 months.
