VA Hospital Run Like A Crime Syndicate (Video And Picture)
The Veterans Administration scandal that started in Phoenix has now spread to a VA hospital in Texas after a whistleblower alleged extensive fraud by senior officials of the facility, and compared it to an “organized crime syndicate.”
Emails and memos obtained by The Daily Beast show that high-level VA hospital employees had conspired to cook the books for years to cover up the lengthy delays for veterans waiting for medical care. Why was this done when it lowered the quality of health care that many veterans received… and cost at least dozens of veterans their lives?
Just follow the money.
If the wait times that endangered the lives of veterans had been revealed, it would have jeopardized the executives’ bonus pay at the hospital, according to the report. The documents indicate that the “widespread wrongdoing” went uncorrected and unpunished for years, even after false wait times for care were repeatedly reported to local and national VA officials.
