In my Forbes editorial, here's the conclusion: insiders can't reform the VA. If the insider promotion of Dr. Jeffrey Murawski is the best solution to fix the national problem, then the entire system must be overhauled.

We worked with Michael Volpe at Daily Caller to expose the Memphis VA for cutting vital services to veterans while paying $1 million in bonuses (2011-2013). The Bill O'Reilly Show at FOX News showcased the Memphis VA in a segment.
