VA official: Don't tell until asked about Legionnaires' outbreak among veterans (6 veterans died)

Editor's note: This story is the second of two parts.

A high-ranking official with Veterans Affairs Pittsburgh Healthcare System wanted the agency to keep quiet about a deadly Legionnaires' disease outbreak rather than warn the public, internal emails indicate.

... The email is among nearly 7,000 pages of internal VA emails and documents the Tribune-Review obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request.

This IS CRIMINAL. Persons responsible MUST be sent to prison.

VA hospitals are models of what you can expect under Obamacare.

The VA today is the future shock of what Obamacare or Boehnercare or Hillarycare wll be in 5 years.

Well, maybe in only 3 more years - - - ?

The article is not long, and very damning. They even wanted to keep info from the CDC and the Allegheny County Health Dept (where Pittsburgh VA is located). I sent a link to Drudge, telling him the article is 11 days old, though.

They would be if the patient population were politically correct.

Bamster said people would be punished. But I have yet to see that with this regime. Jail is too good for these creatures.
