Senate Moves to Make Changes at Veterans Administration
Posted 06.06.14
Propose increase spending to hire doctors and nurses
In response to the recent whistle blowing on delayed care for veterans, the Senate has proposed a bill to authorize five hundred million dollars to hire more doctors and nurses. If veterans cannot get the timely care they need, they will have the right to use private doctors that are enrolled in Medicare, TRICARE, or other government programs. Of other significance in this bill, is the ability of the VA to immediately fire senior executives and hospital administrators for nonperformance.
