I actually agree with this, and it doesn't change my observation: impugning "the VA" in general because on aspect of it is broken and needs fixing is simply not just. First of all, the rest of the VA appears to be working reasonably well (no better or worse than the rest of the U.S. healthcare system). And even for critical cases, a few articles about a few incidents in a few locations does not translate to all critical care situations in all venues. No data has even been provided that demonstrates that the problems are any better/worse than in the regular healthcare system for critical care situations.
My objection stands: general statements like "the VA is X" are simply not warranted, just, or defensible.
