The inspector general at the Veterans Affairs Department says 26 VA facilities nationwide are under investigation, including the Phoenix hospital at the center of allegations about treatment delays and secret waiting lists intended to hide delays in care.
The fact that VA hospitals around the USA are having the same policies in place (the secret lists and denying our Veteran's prompt aid) shows that this was set in place at the highest levels of our administration. Absolutely unacceptable and it is disgusting that some piece of trash bureaucrat would implement such a program. The people responsible need to do ten years behind bars -- and not at a 'country-club' jail either.
