Worth repeating.

Ezra Klein:
The VA system, like many other critical government departments, isn't being givennearthe resources to deal with the coming influx, and the consequences will be disastrous. This isn't a structural problem in the VA, but in our government: It's our duty to give veterans the care they need, and that requires money. We have the institutions and delivery mechanisms in place, they just need to be properly funded.
The problems with the VA have more to do with slots than services. The people I know who are in the system are, by and large, more satisfied than they expected. The people I know trying to get into the system tend to be a pretty frustrated bunch.

The problem, of course, is the by-product of years and years of Republican budgets, and the Republicans just don't care about veterans.

Or you.
