John,

Lawmakers are experts at finding ways to increase government spending.

This time, they’re using veterans and fixing the Department of Veterans Affairs to justify an increase in federal spending levels.

As I wrote in a recent op-ed, the way to address problems at the VA isn’t throwing more money at the problem.

Despite the influx of resources, veterans continued to die on wait lists and receive poor quality care. The reason is simple: Congress and prior presidential administrations refused to thoroughly address systemic issues within the VA that wasted money and hindered its health care delivery. They chose the easier path of just writing the VA a bigger check.

Increasing spending without taking on the VA’s big problems is not helpful to veterans. In fact, it’s detrimental to their care.

Read the rest of my op-ed to see CVA’s ideas for fixing issues at the VA.
