He said he would instruct his staff that if a valid complaint is not addressed that the issue be brought directly to him and that he would get on the phone himself and fix it. This idea was among 10 steps President Trump said he would take to respond to long wait times and poor service at the Department of Veterans Affairs. He also went on to say that the VA was not sacred, but that the Veteran was.Via Washington Examiner:White House officials will “soft-launch” a veterans’ complaint hotline this week in preparation to fulfill one of President Trump’s campaign promises by August, Veterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin said on Wednesday.The details of the hotline’s debut are “being worked out tomorrow,” Shulkin told reporters during a rare appearance at the White House. The phone line will allow veterans to call in their complaints and concerns about conditions at the Department of Veterans Affairs.Trump included a direct line to the White House for veterans in a 10-point plan for VA reform that he rolled out during the presidential race.

To the point that Veterans were actually dying while waiting to get medical care.Anyone who believes single-payer healthcare system is the solution, let them visit the VA.The VA Accountability Act of 2017We’ve all heard stories about employees at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) who fail in their duty to serve veterans. While the vast majority of VA employees are hard-working and dedicated, because VA often fails to hold individuals who are not fulfilling their duties accountable for their actions, these bad actors taint the reputation of the department as a whole. In instances where VA has tried to take disciplinary action against an employee, the process is so administratively complex and lengthy that such action can take more than a year, often times being delayed indefinitely.A recent study completed by the U.S. Government Accountability Office found that, on average, it takes six months to a year, to remove a permanent civil servant in the Federal Government, though it often takes longer. Just last year, former VA Deputy Secretary Sloan Gibson testified at a hearing that it was too hard to fire bad employees at VA.
