it's sad watching pathetic left-wing nutjobs still lean on Bush for excuses for obama's failures
what happened at the VA under Bush is irrelevant
why?
because HE LEFT OFFICE YEARS AGO
and when he did he gave a heads up to obama about problems at the VA.
this isnt up for debate; it's a fact
obama failed to address the problems; and people in the VA; an agency who's boss; like every other department or agency; falls under the authority of the President and Commander in Chief; engaged in a COVER-UP to hide the appalling wait times
libs are losers who lie to themselves
It is far worse than that.
Some very powerful people are talking Murder Charges.
This could take down the Administration. You heard it from me first. This is beyond serious, people. And those of you that don't get it? You are too stupid to live.
A fatal wait: Veterans languish and die on a VA hospital's secret list - CNN.com
At least 40 U.S. veterans died waiting for appointments at the Phoenix Veterans Affairs Health Care system, many of whom were placed on a secret waiting list.
The secret list was part of an elaborate scheme designed by Veterans Affairs managers in Phoenix who were trying to hide that 1,400 to 1,600 sick veterans were forced to wait months to see a doctor, according to a recently retired top VA doctor and several high-level sources.
For six months, CNN has been reporting on extended delays in health care appointments suffered by veterans across the country and who died while waiting for appointments and care. But the new revelations about the Phoenix VA are perhaps the most disturbing and striking to come to light thus far.
Internal e-mails obtained by CNN show that top management at the VA hospital in Arizona knew about the practice and even defended it.
Dr. Sam Foote just retired after spending 24 years with the VA system in Phoenix. The veteran doctor told CNN in an exclusive interview that the Phoenix VA works off two lists for patient appointments:
There's an "official" list that's shared with officials in Washington and shows the VA has been providing timely appointments, which Foote calls a sham list. And then there's the real list that's hidden from outsiders, where wait times can last more than a year.
Deliberate scheme, shredded evidence
"The scheme was deliberately put in place to avoid the VA's own internal rules," said Foote in Phoenix. "They developed the secret waiting list," said Foote, a respected local physician.
