In March 2015, President Barack Obama said, “It’s important that veterans know that somebody’s got their backs, and that, if there are problems, that we’re not being defensive about it, not hiding it.” In March 2016, veterans are still having to wait for medical care, and some are dying in the process.
Scandoulous revelations of extended wait times, improper scheduling practices for U.S. veterans, budget mismanagement, insufficient oversight, lack of accountability, and cover-ups, were revealed in 2014 and again in 2015. New reports show that veterans in the country and in Texas are still victims of these practices.

scheduling report manipulations. His promises made to veterans can be found at this link to a March 13, 2015 White House press release. The President’s statements include references to “cooking the books” and an “unwillingness to face up to the fact that veterans
