Tens of thousands of veterans are stuck in backlogs awaiting care at VA facilities, the department said Monday in a report that confirms employees regularly cooked the books, often under pressure from supervisors, to try to hide long wait times.

The audit found that 70 percent of Veterans Affairs facilities surveyed placed patients on alternate wait lists, meaning many of those veterans probably weren’t recorded in the official reports back to headquarters and were used to dole out bonuses to VA executives.

70 percent THAT WE KNOW OF.

I would be willing to bet 100% are as corrupt as a Mexican drug cartel.

The administration that brought us “Fast-n-Furious, has also delivered “Slow-n-Highly Paid” to it’s best employees.

The VA Medical Revelations are future shock indicators for what we will receive from Obamacare, times 10.

The VA system also fortells the government employees compensation plans for Obamacare managers.(ACA)

That would explain the system's love of government run healthcare.

"Money for nothin, and you're death is free".

“used to dole out bonuses to VA executives.”

FRAUD! Plain and simple. Identify them, prosecute them, jail them, and make them reimburse the taxpayer every dime.
