Obama rejects panel’s proposal for more oversight of VA health care system
 [WASHINGTONTIMES] President B.O. objected Thursday to a new governing board to oversee health care at the Department of Veterans Affairs, saying it would undermine the VA secretary’s authority and make it harder for the scandal-ridden agency "to implement transformative change." The president said the recommendation by a national commission for a new "board of directors" for the nation’s largest health care system also would "weaken the integration" of the VA’s medical program with other services. He also said the Justice Department has advised that the extra layer of oversight "would violate the appointments clause of the Constitution."Posted by: Fred 2016-09-02 |
