Maggie Mahar has always been a huge fan of government healthcare, doesn't really matter which flavor, as long as the government is running it. For years she has touted the VA as a shining example of a great healthcare system, a model to replace inefficient private insurance.
While most people would find revolutions like this unacceptable;
"Department of Veterans Affairs officials purposely manipulate or hide data that would support the claims of veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan to prevent paying costly benefits, a former VA researcher will tell a House subcommittee Wednesday afternoon."
Maggie probably sees it as proof of efficiency and a job well done. The same way NHS in England is still held up as a model and people still claim Medicare is a shining example of cost efficiency.
