It's hard to argue with the fact Trump's best pick was
someone kept on from the Obama administration.

What specifics are you capturing with "this", doug?
The wait time app and call center improvements are projects that started over a year ago. The other "better outcomes for vets" project they mentioned - the LUKE arm - was started a year or so after Obama took office.
The unrelated "efficiency improvements" - layoffs that have already happened, further proposed layoffs and shuttering offices and clinics - those are new, but don't have any relationship with the "quality of care" improvements mentioned elsewhere in the article.
(Those efficiency improvements will prolly turn out well, though - it's just too early to point to what the tangible outcomes to those will be other than reduced spending - hard to say whether there'll be a negative impact in terms of availability and quality of veteran care that'd offset the savings, or if it's pure fat being trimmed).
Cheers.
