Audit reveals poor state of veterans care in VA system
An overdue audit confirms delays, misreporting, and possible fraud in VA health care. 57 000 veterans waited 90 days for appointments, 64 000 forgotten, and 13 schedulers report falsified waits. Senate reform backed by McCain and Sanders aims to fire misconducting officials, permit outside care, fund new facilities, and hire more staff. VA Secretary Shinseki resigned, signaling a step but not a full fix to systemic problems.
