It seems like only yesterday that some people were holding up the Veterans Administration as a shining example of how well government can do health care. Today, the agency has become a symbol of everything wrong with government.

Rather than keeping the promises made to returning veterans, the self-centered bureaucracy of the VA has been caught sandbagging their applications for disability benefits. It has been caught using secret waiting lists to hide the poor performance of its health care system, so its employees could make veterans wait for care without losing bonuses. It has been caught retaliating against whistleblowers on many occasions, and obstructing congressional investigations into all of this wrongdoing.
