Since President Trump took office, speculation has raged that he intends to privatize major portions of the Department of Veterans Affairs’ sprawling health care system. Last week, the administration took its most definitive step in that direction by releasing rules allowing veterans who live more than a 30-minute drive from a V.A. health care facility to choose to receive private care instead.

Not necessarily a bad thing
and good for the Veteran.
However, the process of scheduling these appointments are passed to a third party, and the Choice Program has resulted in the overcharging/skimming of millions (OIG found $89M). There is no accountability. Nobody gets fired, or go to jail. Maybe they have to pay some money back, but they have been able to leverage stolen money to increase their wealth. Let a Veteran scam the VA out of $10k, and they get locked up.
Just another way the wealthy rob the poor (taxpayers).
