Department of Veterans Affairs employees destroyed veterans’ medical records to cancel backlogged exam requests
Employees of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) destroyed veterans’ medical files in a systematic attempt to eliminate backlogged veteran medical exam requests, a former VA employee told The Daily Caller.

Audio of an internal VA meeting obtained by TheDC confirms that VA officials in Los Angeles intentionally canceled backlogged patient exam requests.

“The committee was called System Redesign and the purpose of the meeting was to figure out ways to correct the department’s efficiency. And one of the issues at the time was the backlog,” Oliver Mitchell, a Marine veteran and former patient services assistant in the VA Greater Los Angeles Medical Center, told TheDC

Interview with the reporter that broke the news and the audio. Absolutely disgraceful on the VA's part.

Somebody needs to be fired, and if possible, incarcerated.

If you can't hold IRS emplyees accountable for violating someones Constitutional Rights you will never hold someone accountable for shredding paper. JMHO.
