Veterans Getting Shortchanged by VA's Wasteful Practices

The Associated Press reports the Veterans Administration is "improperly spending at least $5 billion a year for medical care and supplies being purchased in violation of required practices for competitive bidding and written contracts, a senior VA official said Thursday."

Gross mismanagement, mockery, illegal purchases, excessive prices, serious violations, and staggering--all words the report uses to describe the VA's waste.

Be assured--although here are OCWF, we aren't--the VA states they have tightened controls.
