The window was way beyond what i believed it would be. Captioning sponsored by cbs this is the cbs evening news with scott pelley. Pelley good evening, the number of mesh American Veterans known to be waiting months for health care grew today. The department of Veterans Affairs released its First Nationwide audit of v. A. Hospitals and clinics since the scandal erupted. It found 57,000 veterans have been waiting more than three months for their first appointment. Also, over the past decade, 63,000 vets an appointment, and never got one. Wyatt andrews tells us the audit found that there were widespread attempts to cover it all up. Reporter the audit not only reveals the number of wait listed veterans. It takes on the question of why. In more than threefourths of all v. A. Clinics, 76 , at least one scheduler said supervisor ordered them to falsify the computer records of how long veterans were waiting. This whistleblower at the hines is v. A. Hospital in illinois demonstrated the process. Its done by changing the veterans desired date for care to the date of the future appointment. That makes it seem like an appointment months away was what the veteran requested. No wait time. Reporter sources told us that supervisors got bonuses partly by reporting low wait times but those bonuses are now history. The says it is ending the 14day scheduling goal to eliminate incentives to engage in inappropriate practices. To clear the backlog, v. A. Officials say 50,000 veterans have been called just in the last week to schedule appointments. 90,000 remain on the call list now. Iraq veteran lauren price has received two personal calls and an automated followup. Before last week, shed waited six months for a checkup, despite her diagnosis of chronic lung disease. Its outrageous and egregious that it takes this level of pressure to get them to do the job they are so adequately funded for. Reporter in this report, the auditors admit they did not learn everything, saying that many of the respondents may have selfcensored to protect themselves. 112 v. A. Hospitals and clinics, including the hines hospital have been flagged for further review and investigation. Pelley wyatt is joining us now for washington. Wyatt, what is the v. A. Going to do about these wait times . Reporter scott, the acting v. A. Director has already said hes going to look at these new honestly reported wait times and where the v. A. Needs more doctors he says the v. A. Will hire but hes also said the v. A. May need to be more efficient which means in some clinics, scott, v. A. Doctors and nurses will be asked to work harder. Pelley wyatt, thanks very much. 57 now vets unable to get appointments is a large number, but consider this for context the v. A. Had more than six million appointments on the books last month. So 57,000 is about 1 of the total. We learned this afternoon the identities of the las vegas couple who ambushed and killed two Police Officers and gunned down a civilian who tried to stop them. Heres Scott Daniels of cbs affiliate klas.

Reporter the couple barricaded themselves in the back of the walmart and had a gun fight with swat teams. It ended when Amanda Miller shot her husband and then herself. Theres no doubt that the suspects have some apparent ideology that is along the lines of militia and white supremacists. They believe that Law Enforcement is the oppressor and theyre associated with the nazi movement. Reporter jerad miller had served time for drugs and theft. He regularly posted his support for extremist groups on facebook, and this protest of government drones on youtube. I mean, theyre already wiretapping your phones.

The pentagon said today it is opening a third Emergency Shelter for thousand of unaccompanied children who are pouring into the United States from central america. Over the last year, the number of children crossing illegally has surged from 24,000 to 47,000. And that has overwhelmed facilities on the border as anna werner discovered. Reporter we found women and their Young Children camped overnight on the floor of this bus station in laredo, texas, last week. They were cropped off by immigration agents after a short detention. Many, such as ingrid reyes, are from central america. Honduras has turned into a very dangerous country and im looking for your help with my children, she said. Theres no work. Its violent. But more children are crossing the border alone. The border parole says there has been a 92 increase in unaccompanied children since last summer. More than 1100 children between the ages of 12 and 17 are at this Holding Center at Lackland Air Force base in san antonio. Krista piferrer is a spokesperson there. These are really good conditions, certainly better than of the children have come from and without question better than the conditions in which they traveled here from. Reporter texas had so many of these kids it began sending them to arizona last month. This center in nogales will hold up to 1500 kids. They are put in large rooms where theyre given foil blankets to stay warm. A department of Homeland Security official tells us the nogales facility is being used as a way station.

Today, president obama expanded a program that makes it easier to pay back student loans. It caps Monthly Payments at 10 of income and forgives loans after 20 years if no payments are missed. Up to now, the program is available only to recent graduates, but don dahler tells us the president is opening it up to everyone, as many as 5 million more grads. Reporter Anthony Schullo dreams of marrying his girlfriend when he graduate. But the glendale heights, illinois, junior would be taking more than 50,000 in Student Loan Debt into the marriage. For me it is a matter of Going Forward how am i going to manage that . How am i going to handle that . Its a lot of money. Reporter under the president s plan, schullo is one who could see lower payments. The average is 29,400. They are among the largest debt burdens for u. S. Households, more than auto loans and credit cards and second only to mortgages. Really, Student Loan Debt chooses spouses. It choices when and if you buy a new home. It choose choose many a career. Reporter it is said the president s plan would cost the country between 10 billion and 12 billion. Does that take into account what the money is making to service the loans. No the federal government is borrowing money for 2 to 3 and loaning it at a rate of 6. 5 and between those two numbers theres a lot of daylight and that can quickly translate into billions of dollars in profit. That amounts to 12 billion in profit for the federal government over a 10year period. Schullo says the president s plan will help, but with so much debt, he might still have to postpone getting married. I do not want a debt to be determining when i have that family. When im ready to do ti want to do it and i dont want that money hanging over my head to be a factor in that. Pelley don, we mentioned some loans could be forgiven entirely. Reporter as of now, anyone with a federal student loan can have their loan forgiven after 20 years. If they miss a payment it, doesnt automatically kiss qualify them. What it does mean is they might have the period extending for the number of monthses they didnt send a check in. Pelley Bowe Bergdahl is gaining strength at a u. S. Military hospital in germany.

Reporter the staff at Brook Army Medical Center has rehearsed for Sergeant Bergdahls arrival every six months since he was taken hostage. Marc gonsalves went through whats called reintegration at brook in 2008. Its a very gradual, phased approach at trying to reacclimate the person back to society, back to back to freedom. Reporter gonzalez and two other american civilians were held for five years by colombian rebels after their plane crashed. Coming back from that is not as easy as you would think, especially when were being held in isolation for that long. So its not as simple as, hey, you know, im free. Now i can go to mcdonalds and drive a car. Theres a lot more to it than that. Reporter the reintegration plan was first developed to help u. S. P. O. W. S returning from vietnam. The first two phases involve medical and psychological examinations. And interviews to get timesensitive information about the enemy. Bergdahl has gone through that part of the process overseas. The final phase for bergdahls reintegration at brook will focus on giving him a sense of control over his life, simple things, like deciding what he will eat, where, and when he can go outside or sleep. He will also slowly be reintroduced to his family. The first visit with my family was only 45 minute long, and by the time those 45 minutes were over, i was anxious. I was sweating. I had a migraine headache. Reporter because of that fragile state, gonzales says he was shielded from media reports for days after he arrived here at Brook Army Medical Center.

That crash early saturday injured comedian tracy morgan. He remains in Critical Condition this evening. Another comedian, james mcnair, was killed. The truck driver is charged with vehicular homicide, and heres transportation correspondent jeff pegues. Reporter investigators are now looking into what 35yearold kevin roper was doing in the 24 hours before his walmart truck slammed into the luxury van carrying actor tracy morgan. In 2012, nearly 4,000 people were killed in crashes involving large trucks. To cut down on that number, the federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has been trying to combat one potential cause driver fatigue. Just last year, new rules took effect limiting the maximum average work week for Truck Drivers to 70 hours. Drivers cannot start a new work week until theyve had 34 consecutive hours of rest that included at least two nights of sleep between the hours of 1 00 a. M. And 5 00 a. M. But last week, a Senate Committee voted to ease some of the rules, arguing that they force truckers to drive during daylight hours. Dave osiecki, who represents American Trucking association, says the rules delay shipments and clogs the nations highways during rush hour. So youre concerned about that. Were concerned about the safety risk. Were concerned about the productivity lost to the industry because we move americas freight. The trucking industry, whether the public realizes that youre ubiquitous, when you go to a grocery store, the groceries are there because the truckers are moving at night. Reporter truck operators are currently allowed to drive 11 hours in a 14hour work day. Many companies, including walmart, use electronic logs in the trucks themselves to monitor driving hours. In the last 24 months, walmarts 7,000 drivers have been inspected 6,000 times. Scott, federal regulators say the companys conduct generally did not raise any red flags. Pelley jeff, thanks very much.

Dr. Steven swanson of steamboat springs, colorado, is on his Third Mission where hes made a total of five spacewalks. Joining us from the space station are commander reid wiseman and Mission Commander steven swanson. Commander weissman, let me ask you, before you were born it was my lifes ambition to be an astronaut. So tell me what im missing. I dont think we have enough time on this program to give you all the basics, but i would say the view out of window is way beyond what i ever dreamed it would be. And i gotta say, as a kid, you always want to float everywhere you go, and up here its just no problem. You just float on down to the bathroom, float on over to the window, float down to the dinner table, and really, its better than you could ever think. Pelley that looks like a lot of fun. Dr. Swanson let me ask you, what is the mission are you doing. Its not all fun and games. Youre right. We like to have fun but our main mission is science up here.
