From Bill Prady: Theres another part of the V.A. story that isnt being covered. The number of vets waiting for medical care increased sharply under the Obama administration. Some of that can be attributed to casualties from our current wars, but the biggest cause of the increase was a change in policy. Sufferers of PTSD, Gulf War Syndrome, Agent Orange Syndrome (Vietnam war vets) and a number of other conditions were welcomed into the V.A. system. The Obama administration reversed the long-standing policy of the V.A. that required these vets to meet a nearly insurmountable standard of proof of the causes of their diseases to get treatment. Combine that with the Republican Partys refusal to fully fund the V.A. and you get long wait times. Very long wait times.
