Wait Lists Grow as Many More Veterans Seek Care and Funding Falls Far Short

Wait Lists Grow as Many More Veterans Seek Care and Funding Falls Far Short - The New York Times:
"One year after outrage about long waiting lists for health care shook the Department of Veterans Affairs, the agency is facing a new crisis:
The number of veterans on waiting lists of one month or more is now 50 percent higher than it was during the height of last year’s problems, department officials say.
The department is also facing a nearly $3 billion budget shortfall, which could affect care for many veterans."
