While appreciated, Spann’s statements should have come while he was a VA employee. I hope that a good number of VA employees, including physicians, come forward now. The one positive step taken now has been to allow referral out of the VA if wait time are excessive. Unfortunately, this also seems subject to bureaucratic manipulation so as not to have a high referral rate reflect poorly on the VA.

The problem is, trying to leave a VA hospital because you are tired of waiting may result in VA police killing you.
