They are making decisions,, based on politics and budget plan. They try to operate the VA like it's a profit center.

Starting over would be good.

I would have a 2 part VA.

One that determined eligibility,, QUICKLY. This is where so many vets get lost in the battle.

and a 2nd entity that provided treatment. If there isn't a viable VA clinic locally, use your VA card at any hospital.

I don't like socialized medicine, nor do I want a single player system. But that is what the VA is and has been for ever..
