The Veterans Affairs Inspector General’s report is outright disturbing and we should all be offended by the way the VA health care system has treated many of our veterans. First and foremost, I want to make sure we get to the heart of the problem by finding out what happened at the Arizona VA hospital – and at others around the country – put a plan in place to fix it so these issues don’t ever happen again, and hold those responsible accountable. I’m also reaching out to the VA directly to find out how this specific problem wasn’t addressed when it first came to the attention of VA leadership back in 2010. Such a lack of action and oversight for four years is deeply concerning and shows that we are failing our veterans. That’s just unacceptable. The many health care workers at our VA hospitals provide valuable services for our veterans, but because of the actions of a few, many veterans have waited far too long for benefits, health care, and other support. Those who fought for our country deserve the best of the best and it’s past time we give them a system that offers them such care. We need to see real action right now.
