VA Chief Says It's Too Expensive to Keep Track of VA Patients

Jim Nicholson, secretary of Veterans Affairs shelved the program that allowed the VA to keep track of veterans once they left the hospital. When questioned about the program, he says, "...[he]doesn't recall such a program."
A proposal to keep seriously wounded vets from falling through the cracks of the bureaucracy was shelved in 2005 when Jim Nicholson took over as the secretary of the Veterans Affairs Department, according to the former VA employee who was responsible for tracking war casualties.
Now, the chimp-in-charge has appointed Nicholson to head the "bipartisan committee" to investigate why veterans aren't getting what they were promised by the government. Heck of a job Nickie. Read the rest and watch the video linked...
Call for Nicholson's resignation now. Let your elected officials know that this is not alright with you.
