...energetic, ad-libbing cast makes the show a joy. Doomsaying beatnik Ian Malcolm (Mason Ross) punctuated pauses by jiggling his head and muttering inaudibly.

But the VA, which is funded by tax dollars, "has its patients for life," notes Kizer, who served in his post until 1999. So to keep government spending down, "it makes economic sense to keep them healthy and out of the hospital." Kizer eliminated more than half the system's 52,000 hospital beds and plowed the money saved into opening 300 new community clinics so vets could have easier access to family-practice...
