Maybe the VA is past its prime. Maybe veterans should be able to get care reimbursed at private facilities.

Average wait time is almost 60 days where I’m at and it’s not rural. We have a population (veterans) of around 200k with over a 100k in military personnel on top of that.
Care is abysmal and the only saving grace is when they can’t get you an appointment within a month they are required to use civilian practices.

Just for clarity when I say abysmal it was easier to get opioids and other similar scheduled medications instead of a simple referral for multiple compressed and herniated discs and a displaced SI.

That’s MAGA

Well now more funding can go to the veterans themselves rather than bureaucratic “administrators”

Hello,

Long time fishbowl lurker, first time poster.

I work in Healthcare consulting (8 yoe). I'm incredibly passionate about Healthcare and have thought a lot about how to make meaningful changes that keep people healthy and how it can be affordable and accessible to all. I know Google has been operating in the Healthcare market. Anyone here open to connect so I can learn more about its current activities/future plans? I'd like to see if there's a role that I'd be a good fit for.

Thank you!
