A fatal wait: Veterans languish and die on a VA hospital's secret list

(CNN) -- 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.

I took care of my mom for ten years. I could get her anything she needed to do in a day maybe two if it was not pressing. She even got gangrene from bad circulation in her fingers. She saw the doc and they brought her in immediately to cut it off. The only things she needed to wait on was if prep was needed.

I know Dave you deal with the Veterans Hospital.

My wife had prior to all this discussion of the ACA had not stopped to think about how many Anericans lacked healthcare insurance of could be denied it because of pre existing conditions. Her only conclusion is that the system is evil and that everyone should be covered.

She had always had coverage before ansd of course once we were married she was covered by my Bell Canada plan.
