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?

An internal Veterans Affairs Department report states that about one-third of the veterans waiting to receive medical care from the agency have already died. http://thehill.com/policy/defense/247752-report-one-third-of-vets-waiting-medical-care-already-dead

Fact is many more of us are going to die if VA does not pull its head out of its ass. 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.
