Arizona Republic | 8 years after scandal, VA is still untruthful about wait times for veteran care

This month marked eight years since the Phoenix Veterans Affairs scandal came to light. The public found out the VA was keeping secret wait lists of veterans who needed care, covering up the extended waits for appointments. A number of veterans died while waiting for care.

Troublingly, not much has changed since then.
