With the news that the average wait time for new patients seeking a primary care doctor at the VA Maryland Health Care System is 81 days, the fourth-longest at facilities examined in a nationwide federal audit, Senator Barbara Mikulski talks about why Congress is working to overhaul the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Mikulski says they, in the Senate, are working on legislation that will help to shorten the wait time for new primary care VA patients.
Mikulski says there's good and bad news regarding Maryland patients involved in the VA wait list. The bad news from audit is that the wait time here in Maryland is 81 days for new primary care patients. The good news is that the wait time for existing patients is as low as 4 days.

Now they care? NOW they want to do something about wait times? Why do we always let these trash politicians get away with this? It to late, Barb, you and your fellow oligarchs cannot fix the mess you created. we no longer believe your lies.
The mouth that roars, roars on with more BS.
Did she mention the hundreds of boarder children "illegals" that she and Obama approved to be brought to Maryland to be paid for with our taxes?
that old bat is part of the problem!
We will all be in the same boat as soon as obummercare is fully in place. What do people expect from anything run by the gov't.
She is so full of it... now that they have been exposed, it becomes a primary concern.. She has know about this problem for years. What a POS she is.
Babs, nothing needs to be "overhauled", no committees or investigations needed here.
People are not doing their jobs, period. There is a system in place, and it's being ignored and sat upon by these people.
These people need to be fired, and competent people who can and will do their jobs hired in their place.
It's not the hospital's fault; it's the people INSIDE the hospital's fault.
Get it?
Umm....what 9:43 said! Amen brother!
