Moderator broncovet Posted July 15, 2015 Moderator Share Posted July 15, 2015 Wow. So let me get this straight. There are 800,000 Vets on a waiting list for care. A third of them (250,000) are already dead because they waited so long, so VA now says the wait list is shorter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyman73 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 OH, now I get it, that's why the list has gotten shorter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no such thing as a plan to treat before an event just after the tradegy hits. Veterans deserve better. Veterans deserve real choice for their health care.
