VA doctors usually don't get contracts renewed because of complaints by patients or supervisors (unless an entire facility loses its VA contract). The problem with money has been that it hasn't been enough to match the tremendous patient growth, even as funding is increasing.

The Bush administration cut funding in the early 2000's to reduce waste and inefficiencies. But starting in 2007 the VA budget started to rise dramatically. The 2013 budget represented an 11% ($13 billion) increase over 2012 spending and a 72% increase from 2007 spending (despite a 10% decrease in the number of veterans between 2007 and 2013). Spending on medical programs grew 42% between 2007 and 2011.
