July 14, 2014 Veterans Benefits Administration Processes One Millionth Claim in FY 2014

http://www.va.gov/opa/pressrel/pressrelease.cfm?id=2582

July 17, 2014 VA Continues to Accelerate Access to Veterans Health Care

http://www.va.gov/opa/pressrel/pressrelease.cfm?id=2587

Ah...got it now...the administrative structure that existed is being kept in place? Did I miss how every single administrator in the "regions under investigation" were escorted out of their offices, files, electronic, paper, etc. sealed?

Any person in private industry knows what that looks like.

As long as the spotlight remains on the VA I expect things to change for the better.

It better.

Sad. No real, appropriate accountability.

Correct me if I am wrong here.

Did their intentional actions, regarding the "numbers," result in the administrator receiving a monetary reward/bonus for those fraudulently submitted numbers? Yes, or, no.

If yes, then that fits most elements of Federal Criminal Statutes. If these statistical sluts acted together, then it triggers all sorts of conspiracy Federal statutes and may rise to RICO status.

Amen to that. But how far will the investigation really go?..plenty of blockades to overcome. Barry & Co. carry a big stick.

Ah, the impression that they are listening and eager to find out what the Vets need.

Really? How about arresting someone and marching them out of their house at 6:00 AM in the rain.

You know the way they treat criminals who conspired to defraud the government - RICO anyone?

Sadly, it won't happen Adam. The VA is just another bloated, incompetent government agency....like the Depts. of Education, Transportation, the Post Office, etc. At the VA however, they're dealing with lives and broken promises. One can only hope that the mis-treatment isn't too widespread. Our Band of Brothers deserve better.

And as I've stated before, I have had only good experiences with them here in LV. Nothing for me to really complain about.

Peace
