Military veterans waiting months for care. New details from the v. A. s Inspector General tonight amid investigation into allegations of mistreatment and cover up by v. A. Staff. Reporter its a stunning admission that some its staff failed to give adequate care to some of its military. Theyre reviewing hospitals across the hospital but investigating the phoenix hospital. It falsely claimed minimal delays but the Inspector General found significant delay in access to care which negatively impacted the quality of care. While managers reported an average wait of 14 days, the review found wait times of up to 115 days. Phoenix center was the focus of investigation because of allegations that 40 veterans died waiting for care. And whistle blowers say the center concealed wait times by keeping two sets of books.

The average private care physician this country sees, five times that. So when i hear that we need more providers and more money, i just go nuts. Because what we need is exactly what you said, representative coffman, we need leadership. And we need what the Ranking Member from the house said. We need the ability to control those that manage. And if you dont fix the real problems, youll be back here again and the commitment to our veterans will be wasted, and the most important thing is we will have wasted an opportunity to actually make a difference in their lives, which is our commitment to them. So i look forward to working im involved. I issued a report today, and mr. Chairman, i would like a copy of that report to be placed as part of the minutes. Without objection. It paints a dismal picture of the va, and its not just in health care. And if you
