65% of senior executives at the Veterans Administration received bonuses last year while veterans (we don’t know how many because of record-keeping games) went without care. I know that I don’t fully understand the system–or any bureaucracy, for that matter. It just seems to me that not only were the bonuses not earned but also they could have bought the time of a good number of doctors (inside and/or outside VA) to give our vets the care they deserve.
If the VA doesn’t make our vets a priority, then who?
