Here is some news that, if not exactly good, is at least less-bad-than-it-seemed: a VA Inspector General's investigation has found that while delays in treatment at the Phoenix V.A. hospital were real, and serious , there's also no proof that the delays led to any deaths. Reports earlier this year alleged that as many as 40 veteran may have died while waiting for treatment in Phoenix, and the backlog scandal forced Veterans Affairs Secretary
See, it's like my mom always told me, "It's not going to kill you to wait a little while." Patients should have more patience.
Well, it's still a turd. But at least it's more of the dried-up cowflop variety instead of the "flaming bag o' poo".
That's almost 90,000 more results than you get for 'miley cyrus twerking', which tells you how seriously the media takes the story.
Look, if we spent money to take care of freeloading veterans once they came home from doing Heroic and Necessary things in our wars of choice, we'd never have any money to defund ACORN.
I think what it is is most of these guys were older than me, and many of them were terminal. So the "absence of timely care" probably didn't have a major impact on their eventual time of death. They were gonna die.
However, the absence of timely <i>caring</i> may have had a substantial impact on the quality of their remaining lives, and the folks responsible should be held to account, if it is possible to sort them out; and the procedures that allowed such bullshit to occur must be fixed.

Say, this is good news for those that aren&#039;t dead yet.

Again.
That actually could be kinda funny. Assuming it was a joke.
