Bernie Sanders outlines reform proposal for VA “crisis”
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., outlined the bill he’s co-sponsoring with Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., to reform the embattled Veterans Affairs health care system, marking the most significant sign of congressional action on a scandal that has roiled Washington in recent weeks. The proposal would give the secretary of veterans affairs greater freedom to fire employees of the department who are accused of misconduct.
