Do you think this may have something to do with the lack of funds for Veterans?

No, it's another consequence of the CRA, obviously.
Everyone knows that CRA is just a fairy tale, the reason this is a problem is that the FED has not printed enough money.

They spent all the money on the admin staff, nothing is left for the veterans. Typical Washington style bureaucracy.
What a crooked system.

I just took a quick look at my state of NJ. The top salary at the VA is $331K.... Absolutely disgusting...

Did it occur to the usual assortment of wingnuts to look up who these people actually are? Nah, that would just fuck up being able to rant about the VA. Why let facts interfere with a good rant?
These are the doctors not administrators. You people do realize that the VA is a hospital system and hospitals employ doctors, right? Apparently the thought never occurred. Looks to me to be the going rates for specialists for Phoenix. Actually an orthopod for 350k is damn good.
Of course if the VA had paid way below average salary levels for doctors and had a bunch of J1 docs who couldn't speak english then they would have been providing poor care for the veterans. It's always heads I win tails you lose with you people.
Typical.... Your clueless on what the private sector specialist makes versus these public doctors...
I'm clueless but you couldn't even figure out these were doctors. Perfect. The average iincome for an othopod is 519k. The va getting one for 350k is a bargain. The salaries I saw were all well below the private practices averages. But they don't have to put up with all the hassles of running a practice which is a pretty good trade off.
I spent 3 years ending 2 years ago working as a liaison for an international medical recruiter so I know exactly what the private vs public doctors make in the US as well as Europe, Canada, Austrolasia, South Africa, Japan, and the Carribean as of 2012. I'm sure they haven't changed dramatically. Which is why I have to laugh at the idiots saying US doctors make twice as much as doctors in other countries.
What exactly are your qualifications on the subject? Wikipedia?
who these people actually are? Nah
Bob, quit obfuscating. You know this is the VA janitor roll call. Another case of $200 toilet seats and $300k toilet scrubbers.
bgamall4,
Just searched CRA & found that it stands for-Can't Remember A, fucking thing Republicans are good for.
In the link,wonder how many of the employees in Phoenix are Republican voters getting a Big Govt. Socialist check?
Bob, quit obfuscating.
I love obfuscating, especially with massage oil and sarah palin look alikes dressed in leather. Oops wait sorry wrong word. Never mind.
