U.S. Rep. Michael Michaud, D-Maine, sitting in the Veterans Affairs Committee
In May, a preliminary report from the Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs shocked the country by pointing up systemic delays in care for U.S. military veterans, delays that some say contributed to the deaths of former servicemen and servicewomen.
But last Wednesday, the VA Committee convened to hear new testimony regarding an alleged “white washing” of an August 26 Inspector General report focused on whether delays in patient care at the Phoenix VA facility contributed to the death of veterans. The hearing was prompted by a CBS news report in which a VA whistle-blower said the Inspector General’s report was “water-down” to conceal the fact that veterans had died as the result of secret wait lists.
