Veterans languish and die on a VA hospital's secret list

[Matty]

At least 40 U.S. veterans died waiting for appointments at the Phoenix Veterans Affairs Health Care system, many of whom were placed on a secret waiting list.
The secret list was part of an elaborate scheme designed by Veterans Affairs managers in Phoenix who were trying to hide that 1,400 to 1,600 sick veterans were forced to wait months to see a doctor, according to a recently retired top VA doctor and several high-level sources.

Folks, no matter what system you have, scarcity exists. It is nature.

Vote Republican, support our troops!

What do Republicans have to do with this? According to the article, the "wait list" was created by the hospital management itself.

Sadly, politicians are Washington are too weak.

The only proper answer is firing the director, the associate director, the assistant director, the chief of nursing and the medical chief of staff with life-time ban on working for government and without any dismissal compensation, with a law mandating it if needed.

Not only that, but all five need to have their medical licenses permanently revoked.

Of them, only the associate director and the medical chief of staff are doctors. Chief of nursing is a nurse, Assistant Director is a Fellow of the American College of Healthcare Executives (so, no licence). The director (the true boss) has a MBA and did no studies in medecine and science.

Then revoke their driving licenses, their hunting and fishing licenses, their pet licenses, and any and all other licenses they do have!
