Veterans Affairs Department Needs To Get Their Act Together, This Is Shameful

The Veterans Affairs Department is struggling to provide adequate health care to female veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. The Associated Press finds nearly one in four VA hospitals does not have a fulltime gynecologist on staff. Since 2008, the department has spent $1.3 billion on ramping up women's health care. But officials admit they need to do more for the nearly 400,000 female patients the department sees each year. That number is more than double what the VA saw before the recent wars. Many female patients are of child-bearing age.
