Trump made some big promises when comes to taking care of the Veterans. What are your top 3 priorities he should focus on?

1. He should focus on hiring the right leader for the VA Secretary slot. This should be someone that is a change agent and preferably with some medical background/experience.

2. He should have the entire compensation structure for senior leaders evaluated to ensure they are based upon patient satisfaction and wellness not abstract data points.

3. He should look to allow more privatized treatment for VA care to ensure speed and reliability as well as quality of care until the VA can right itself.

A legitimate investigation into the Clinton's and their Foundation. I want to see the coup de gras. Trump has talked about getting rid of corruption and Clinton has stuck it in our face for 20 years. I didn't vote for Trump. I voted against Clinton. I want her to reap the rewards of years of corruption.

Getting rid of NAFTA. Worst thing to happen to the US economy since the Great Depression.

Fix healthcare. I mean all of it. pharmaceutical companies, insurance companies, hospitals...all of it. Insurances companies say they are going broke, yet they just tore down our local hospital and built a super fancy one on top of it. You know why? They are f#ucking rich. Doctors are chumps. The money is running the hospital. Charging 500x what it cost to produce a pill. That is some BS. I would love to see them have to struggle like the rest of us to pay for things. Just because someone needs help don't mean you get to take advantage of them. The system is broke and as much as I hate the government interfering in free trade, these death dealers have to be reigned in. We have to have healthcare.

Being able to help vets, by being able to fire people. There are some great people at the VA and there are some turds. Time to be able to flush the turds down. Then we get some people in there that deserve to be there and want to be there.

fixing the Broken system, better coverage to The Vets... stop the wasted spending ...

With anything that I say, the thought of the proposal sounds interesting, positive and provides and better future for the country. This can change over time and with more understanding.

The pay, of course. E1s get paid less than someone at McDonalds and do far more work and are put in some hazardous (not necessarily dangerous) situations.

The Restoring National Security Act. For those that need to see help outside of the VA can do so and get the attention they need to their health, both physical and mental. Not that I"m outing the VA can't help, but just for some when the VA has ran out of options but wants to continue to help and support.

SECNAV choice should be someone who has served and knows a bit of what a sailor can go through, enlisted or officer.

All of these are great ideas. My biggest priority is the VA. I volunteer every week at our local VA and I see it first hand. Under staffing effects all areas. It makes for sub-standard food, hurried nursing care, long waits for appointments. As was said here, time to flush the turds and bring in better employees.
BTW, with all this "short-handedness" happening, I think the caregivers at my VA Living Center are amazing. Hurried, yes. By necessity. But sweet and caring just the same. We just need more of them.

1. Pay and benefits.

2. Modernization.

c. Retirement programs.
