People who fight our wars don’t get care
- Apr. ‘14: Whistleblower describes a horrendous wait list scheme at the Phoenix, AZ Veterans Affairs hospital.
- The secret wait list made it look like there wasn’t a long wait for care (possibly for officials to receive extra bonuses).
- At least 40 vets died because of lack of care at the Phoenix VA.
- More whistleblowers come forward at 42 other VAs. The problem appears systemic.
- General Eric Shineski, appointed Secretary of Veterans Affairs by Obama, resigns in shame.
- A national audit of VA system reveals over 63,000 vets never got care and over 57,000 vets had 90-day waiting time.
- VA acknowledges 23 vets have died due to the wait lists.
- Former Phoenix VA diector Sharon Helman is still getting paid though she has been removed from her position. (Speak up: Sharon Helman’s Linked In profile.)
