"40 U.S. veterans die while on Phoenix VA hospital's cost-cutting secret wait list"
This awful story is all over the news...
Here is Melanie Greenwood's report from the N.Y. Daily News:
"The list was part of a complex cost-cutting scheme set up by Veterans Affairs managers in Phoenix aiming to hide the fact that between 1,400 and 1,600 sick veterans were forced to wait up to 21 months to see a doctor, according to whistle-blowing retired top VA doctor and high-level sources.
Internal emails reveal managers at Arizona’s VA hospital knew about the practice and even condoned it."
