40 Veterans on Secret Wait List Die Some American veterans are experiencing Canadian-style waiting lines and rationing. Last November, six veterans with gastric complaints died waiting for care at a South Carolina Veterans Medical Center. Now CNN has discovered 40 veterans who died waiting for treatment from a Phoenix Veterans health care system. They were on a secret waiting list meant to keep the delays hidden from view. The VA requires care within 14 to 30 days, but these veterans on the secret list were waiting up to a year. CNN discovered the VA was putting veterans names on the official list 14 days before they received care, making it look like their care was timely. This is government health care. Little care and long waits. This is why Obamacare must be repealed. “Secret VA wait list reveals 40 vets died while awaiting treatment,” Katie Sullivan, FierceHealthcare, April 24, 2014.
