Friend,

As many of you know, the Department of Veterans Affairs has come under a lot of fire lately for its widespread and systemic lack of accountability. Despite the fact that multiple VA Inspector General reports have linked recent VA patient care problems to widespread mismanagement and Government Accountability Office findings that VA bonus pay has no clear link to performance, the department has consistently defended its celebration of executives who presided over these events, while giving them glowing performance reviews and cash bonuses of up to $63,000.

So in an effort to highlight the department’s growing pattern of rewarding failure and bring about a culture change at VA, the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs has launched a new webpage called VA Accountability Watch. View the page here.

VA Accountability Watch is dedicated to showing America’s veterans and American taxpayers how the department’s widespread and systemic lack of accountability may actually be encouraging more veteran suffering instead of preventing it.

As Chairman Miller recently stated, “By educating America’s veterans and American taxpayers about VA's long and well-documented history of rewarding failure, we hope to enlist their help in our quest to end the culture of complacency that is contributing to many of the department’s most serious problems.”

Does VA have the proper management and accountability structures in place to stop preventable veteran deaths, serious patient-safety issues, and benefit and construction delays? Visit VA Accountability Watch and let us know what you think on Facebook.

Tell Us What You Think.
