They are hidden even from the CDC. I researched it myself. [/quote] There isn't anything the vets can do to rectify this problem. The government has made it nearly impossible to sue for malpractices damages. I've been in the system for a number of years and things went downhill after Obama was elected. . [/quote]

as if anymore was ever needed.
but yeah...
less than fifty..just the start and finish, but the meat of the story is at the link. No fury at this...just a pissed off resignation that the endless battle is truly against the bullshit red tape and utter indifference of bureaucracy.
The Department of Veterans Affairs is suspending the head of the Veterans Benefits Administration for allowing two lower-ranking officials to manipulate the agency's hiring system for their own gain.
Deputy VA Secretary Sloan Gibson says acting VBA chief Danny Pummill will be suspended without pay for 15 days for his role in a relocation scam that has roiled the agency for months.
Pummill failed to exercise proper oversight as Kimberly Graves and Diana Rubens forced lower-ranking managers to accept job transfers and then stepped into the vacant positions themselves, keeping their senior-level pay while reducing their responsibilities, Gibson said Tuesday.
Pummill is one of VA's five highest-ranking officials and leads VBA's employees across 56 regional offices nationwide that provide compensation and pension benefits, life insurance, home loans and other services to millions of veterans.
and..
Accountability at the VA "is almost non-existent," Miller said. "One thing is clear: this dysfunctional status quo will never change until we eliminate arcane civil service rules that put the job security of VA bureaucrats ahead of the veterans they are charged with serving."
