How is this not a crime? As importantly, why is no one in jail over this? Not just for the existence of the wait times, but the fact that at least 300,000 veterans died waiting to to be enrolled or to be seen.

Management at Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical centers in California selected and coached employees on exactly what to tell investigators about wait time manipulation, according to new inspector general reports.

According to two whistleblowers, management handpicked medical support assistants and told them what to tell the Veterans Health Administration Inspection Team, which visited the San Diego medical center in May, 2014, following the wait time manipulation scandal which rocked the Phoenix VA.

One of the medical support assistants said he was afraid to tell inspectors anything because a supervisor was in the interview with him.
