Thanks for those numbers!
You are welcome. Those numbers make all the more sickening, reprehensible, and criminal what the VA has done to vets. This puts the lie to the excuses that (as one example) the situation where vets had to have 3 bloody stool samples before they could get a colonoscopy (which resulted in some getting to stage 4 inoperable cancer) was due to “cost cutting”. The “cost cutting” was not lack of funds but so the administrators could get their bonuses .... as was the finagling of wait times. Charges should be brought for criminal negligence at a minimum - homicide for those who died as a result of this.
