2. Meanwhile, VA facilities are stuffed with WWII and Korea vets |

who are too sick to live alone and for whom the VA system is the nursing home of choice, since the VA will only pay for 6 months of outside nursing home care. That should be the scandal, right there, and that's the law that needs changing. Get the old guys into more appropriate facilities and the new vets would find beds available so the VA could do its job giving aid to the acutely sick.
