In my opinion it is just a way to further obfuscate the claim's process. The way it seems to me is that the VAROS in a respective state are a reflection of the Congressional reps in that state. They seem to haggle and finagle away Veterans’ benefits depending on what the dollar amount is on the earmarks for military bases and the DOD contractors in a given state. My experience with the VAMCs is that they are not on the hook to provide the best medical care, therefore they don’t. If they were legally subject to malpractice suits and competitive services, then they might dance to a different tune. If the VA healthcare system is anything like the intended Obamacare, then we might as well all get the Jone’s cool-aid ready!
Since computers only need an AC socket, why have a local team of morons running around collecting our C+P money in the form of their own paychecks? I say get rid of the VAROs and centralize the claims process. Have one claim’s center in Denver and another in Washington. Sell off the VAMCs and clinics to the highest bidders. Give the Veteran “no-cost” Vetcare from private practice. The VA would pay doctors based on a Veteran’s eligibility for benefits. As a Disabled Veteran, I feel like I have been thrown under the train of malfeasance, corruption and kickbacks! Justice delayed is justice denied!
