| VA: No Proof Delay in Care Caused Vets to Die | |
| 2014-08-26 | |
WASHINGTON -- The Department of Veterans Affairs says investigators have found no proof that delays in care caused any deaths at a Veterans Affairs hospital in Phoenix.
The VA's Office of Inspector General has been investigating the delays for months. Deputy VA Secretary Sloan Gibson said a draft of the inspector general's report says investigators could not "conclusively assert" that delays in care caused veterans to die at the Phoenix VA. The final report has not yet been released. Gibson spoke in an interview with The Associated Press. What you would expect from corruptocrats. | |

| #10 Just like they lost the records of every soldier exposed to a nuclear blast. Same for Agent Orange support. (a little dioxin never hurt a private) |

| #9 So I sat through a good portion of Bambi's speech toady ( at the Seattle VA center, as it were), and I restrained myself from calling 'Bulllsh!t" at each of the lies and half-truths he spewed. The assembled vets that were lucky (sarc) enough to have actual seats at the conference saw through his crap also; very little applause, and most of it was of the 'polite' variety. |

| #8 AA, that's the venue for civil damages juries. Make the award pool all future bonus for those GS10 and above. |

| #7 Judging by the way the VA is handling my father-in-law (96, WWII vet, never got one thing from the VA)the VA plays a waiting game; waiting for old vets to die so they can repurpose the funds (to their bonuses). |

| #5 I mean, they were gonna die anyway, right? The causes were wounds or old age, yes? The VA certainly didn't cause that! [spin unspun] |

| #3 How about a impartial jury of a dozen men and women to view the evidence? I sense that may yet come to pass. |

| #2 The Department of Veterans Affairs says investigators have found no proof that delays in care caused any deaths at a Veterans Affairs hospital in Phoenix. Well, everyone knows there's absolutely no correlation between early discovery, timely treatment, and survivability. WTF were they thinking ? |
