Fox News: West Virginia doctor claims patients on VA waiting list committed suicide

A West Virginia doctor is coming forward with new allegations against the Department of Veterans Affairs, claiming that she too was told to put patients seeking treatment off for months on end -- and that at least two of them committed suicide.

The claims add to the mounting controversy surrounding the VA, and allegations in several states that workers were concealing information about the long wait times veterans encountered. VA Secretary Eric Shinseki testified last week before Congress on the scandal, but so far has resisted calls for his resignation.

Dr. Margaret Moxness, who says she was employed at the Huntington VA Medical Center in Charleston, W.Va., from 2008 to 2010, told "Fox & Friends" on Monday that she was told to delay treatment even after she told supervisors they needed immediate care. She said at least two patients committed suicide while waiting for treatment between appointments.

This comes on top of one whistle-blower in Pheonix revealing the off-system "waiting lists" that often got forgotten and "lost" until patients died, and the revelation from another in St. Louis that psychiatrists and counselors assigned to the treatment of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder cases were only working three or four hours a day, leaving a huge backlog of clients that had not yet been assessed for PTSD nor evaluated for level of care required.

The VA scandal may do what Benghazi, the IRS targeting scandal, Fast & Furious, etc., have failed to do: Bring this incompetent Marxist down. None to soon for my taste.
