  2. "Kansas City-based Cerner wins VA contract"

    Just another VA dog and pony show that will make less work for the already under worked bureaucrats, waste millions of tax payer dollars and do damn near nothing, in real terms, to improve the shitty health care at the VA. When they come up with a plan that removes dozens of decision makers and approvers and actually requires bureaucrats to do some patient concentric work we might see some signs of life at the VA. Don't hold your breath. Your tax dollars at work.
