The VA has constantly been criticized for poor service quality for our veterans over the years but in 2014 that criticism exploded.
It had been reported that a 14-day target for getting a veteran an appointment had failed and it was later found that 35 veterans had died while waiting for their appointments at one facility!
Then-President Obama had to push for the resignation of an official and somehow ended up taking no heat for the reports.
After a short spurt of media coverage, the story was over, it was inexplicably dead in the water.
