  1. So, the vets get to go from bad to also bad and possibly worse? That’s because we value their service to the country.

    1. I get my medical care at the VA and I believe weejee does too. Why? Because they're good, and that's not just my opinion—Schulkin compiled a whole book on the topic, believe it or not.

      Yet Shulkin has since been an unreliable champion of VA health care. His public pronouncements about it have been highly critical. In his first “State of the VA” address at the White House, in May of 2017, Shulkin parroted the conservative narrative of a broken VA, insisting that it was “still in critical condition” and required “intensive care.” As I later wrote, he failed to mention a book that would be released two weeks later entitled Best Care Everywhere—a compilation of clinical case studies hailing the VA’s little-publicized role as an incubator for “real change” in treatment methods. The book’s editor? David Shulkin. Yet neither he nor VA public affairs personnel have promoted it or its message.
