    aren’t VA hospitals federal buildings?

    are they just going to not have backup power past batteries in the case of an emergency?

      Does the federal government actually care about the VA or veterans? I’m sure there are exclusions for life safety though.

        i mean maybe not, but they probably care about veterans above the average person in america, so not caring about veterans is probably a bad sign for said average person

          There are so many veterans unable to get care because the government drags their ass. Their paperwork system is so old that it takes forever to get anything approved.
