How to fix the VA? Marketing!!!!

It seems the VA has an expensive marketing campaign underway to show how it cares for veterans. They call it VA Cares.

Two ads I've seen say nothing about improving care, or how to get actual services, they are just extolling the virtues of the VA.

If you can't fix it, shine it up!

You just know the budget is huge, coming from funds that should be used for you know, actual services,, and likely going to a gop linked ad agency.

It's pretty appalling that they are putting out what amounts to campaign ads to make the VA look better.

As they cut VA funding, these crooks and liars plan to send us veterans to far more expensive private care facilities, which will send us a big bill for medical care. Currently, private-care emergency rooms do everything possible (including make deals with ambulance companies) to bring in veterans, which allows them to send unreasonable bills to VA hospitals, Medicare, Medicare, and then still leave Veterans - on fixed incomes - large, medical bills.
