Published | Video Starts at 00:46

For the electronic service record, the VA originally estimated was going to cost $10 billion. It's going to. It's going to cost over 16. So that's, you know, 60% off your budget estimate. You've got 171 sites and only six of them are using this [electronic service record] so far. So you guys have blown $10 billion. And six out of the 71 sites have this electronic service record. And it's my understanding that you guys blow off commercially off the shelf technologies to develop your own. (00:46–00:53)

CLAIM
