Sen. James Lankford from Oklahoma voted against giving health care to veterans on Tuesday. His excuse is that by treating more veterans, it will “greatly lengthen the waiting period for all veteran care” because the VA is already working with a backlog.

That’s a pretty genius way to deal with an overcrowded system. Just treat fewer patients! Problem solved!
