The Arizona State Hospital corrected security problems that allowed patients to harm themselves.
It took the unfortunate deaths of over 40 veterans in the Phoenix VA hospital alone to prompt an investigation. Recently it was learned that the Colorado VA hospital also falsified wait times although there are no reports of deaths as a result.
Long waits for treatment are not new to veterans who learn that some VA centers are better than others. The alleged “secret lists,” however, are a new twist in the care veterans receive at VA centers.
