Summary:

Americans have been shocked in recent years to learn of potentially deadly delays in care for veterans at VA facilities throughout the US. Just as disturbing has been the realization that VA administrators were not only aware of the delays, but also actively and illegally disguising the problem in pursuit of personal financial gain. Very few Americans, however, have ever guessed at the true, chilling breadth of what is happening within the Veterans Health Administration.
