Yes Veteran’s Affairs is badly broken
We once spoke to a senior Washington type who is familiar with the VA. We discussed the current mess. This person explained that the agency was SO broken that no one really felt that it could be fixed, or would put their career on the line to try to fix it. The job was just so big.
The VA in many respects exists for the army of VA employees (particularly the administrators), who as we have documented are often well paid and who enjoy virtually lifetime employment.

A 2018 audit conducted by the agency’s inspector general unearthed significant amounts of waste, including at least $92 million in overpriced medical supplies. Investigators also found sensitive patient health data sitting in 1,300 unsecured boxes, among numerous other, “serious, persistent deficiencies.”
