VA audit shows 100000 vets facing long waits for care
An internal VA audit finds more than 100,000 veterans waited over 90 days for appointments at VA medical centers. It reveals widespread data misrepresentation, 57000 plus patients waiting 90 days or more, and 43700 with future dates beyond 90 days. Lawmakers condemn the findings and the agency pledges emergency actions.
