Fixing VA health care: Agency continues failing U.S. veterans 12/01/08. As a physician who proudly serves our veterans of war, I was deeply saddened by the recent revelation of deceptive practices at the Department of Veterans Affairs in New York. A Newsday article reported that hundreds of veterans' benefit claims were misdated by the VA to make it appear that they were processed on time. This latest affront to integrity comes at the heels of the House Veterans' Affairs Committee roundtable discussion on Nov. 19 regarding the VA's shredding of hundreds of claims at other sites. These are metastatic manifestations of a systemic illness - failures of leadership and a cultural decay at the VA. Dr. Robert W. Van Boven via Washington Times
