more. this moment will be starting any moment at the white house. drew, you know what hasn t been done to fix the v.a., what efforts are trying to be made. lay it out for us as we wait to see this moment happen? reporter: the v.a. has two problems. one, the federal government is trying to run a top health care system for veterans. it s not economically feasible. as they are announcing the president. keep going. reporter: politically, you can t get rid of the v.a. they have management problems, top to bottom, that allowed the scandals and whistleblowers not fixing the problems in health care. that s what this bill is aimed to do, trying to get rid of or give the secretary of the v.a. the power to get rid of bureaucrats that are considered
known for his work across the aisle with democrats, as dangerous as that can be these days. great to see you, thanks for coming in. senator, first to you, democrats call this plan mean. president obama joined in on that yesterday in issuing this statement on facebook. he said this, simply put, if there s a chance you might get sick, get old or start a family, this will do you harm. urnds the guise of making it easier to stomach cannot change the meanness at the core of the legislation. do you think this legislation, do you think this bill is mean or think it s politics talking? frankly, i think it s mean because it s about an $880 billion cut in health care benefits to lower income people and seniors. it s a big tax break to most wealthy of us at the same amount. that s not right. that s morally wrong for the
