Mar-a-Lago trio reviewed confidential $10 billion VA contract before its release: report

Three Mar-a-Lago club members friendly with President Trump were reportedly given access to review a $10 billion government contract to overhaul electronic health records for veterans even though they had no prior experience in the field.

The three men, Marvel Entertainment Chairman Ike Perlmutter, West Palm Beach physician Bruce Moskowitz and lawyer Marc Sherman, were given unprecedented access to confidential documents and shaped policy at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), according to emails obtained by ProPublica through a Freedom of Information Act request.

The trio had no health information technology or federal contracting experience but were listed among more than 40 experts reviewing the government contract, including hospital executives and university health system administrators.

Records obtained by ProPublica show the men editing the budget and being placed on an “executive committee.”

I know because I was told and it's more expensive. The great website they have for us now sucks. If I , who only go once a year because they track me down, can notice this small stuff..well, I can't imagine what is being scrambled behind the front.

I warned my family, if I get unlucky and need any emergency and it goes bad. See above names.
