Government Waste

As a Veteran I have been struggling with what happened to me here in Texas. I just spent three plus months at the Connecticut VA having all sorts of tests done on me at I am sure some expense. While I appreciate it and needed all of them I feel that they should suffice for any other VA.
I found myself in Texas due to family illness; shortly after; I needed to see someone; THE ONLY WAY BACK IN THE DALLAS VA WAS for me to start getting the exact SAME tests over!!!! I tried to explain it is all there in the system; So until I see the primary care Doctor in November I go through the EMERGENCY room for care and really waste time and money. I will however be run through the mill again at such an expense. I am not due for any follow up until January 2012; ALL I needed was a prescription refill! I have given blood twice and all must be well because no one has called to give me any results since the end of September.
Now I am not sure why but if the Dallas VA cannot COMMUNICATE with the Connecticut VA the computer system is the first thing that needs to be fixed AGAIN!!! I know it is possible so do it and save money, money money money! So the first thing we should do is connect the dots and STOP wasting money! I am sure there are people skilled enough to do this already working for us. Here is the odd part I guess; Government employees work for us,we pay their salaries, so when I find such mismanagement with people skills I just want to scream! FIRE SOMEONE! This is my company! Oh and there is always the phone as a back up or have records faxed; hmm to complicated I guess!
