The troubled Veterans Affairs health care system is plagued by a "corrosive culture" of mismanagement and distrust that has had significant negative impacts on medical treatment for veterans, according to a White House review. 

A summary of the review, which was done by deputy White House chief of staff Rob Nabors and released Friday, says the environment within the Veterans Health Administration hurt morale and affected the timeliness of health care, and the division of the department must be restructured.

The review came in the wake of reports of lengthy wait times for appointments and treatment delays in VA facilities nationwide.

This report was released on Friday night by the way. The VA is really broken like most federal government agencies.

Yep, the usual administration practice of releasing negative news just prior to a weekend when everybody isn't paying attention.  :whatever:

Asshats.  :argh:

I'm sure there will be lots of negative news released right before the 4th weekend, when absolutely no one is paying attention.

Good point.  The 4th is this Friday, should be an interesting news day.
