House Committee on Veterans Affairs – Chairman Miller: ‘The Department of Veterans Affairs has received a lot of negative attention lately for failing to adequately deliver the care and benefits America promised our veterans. In addition to the department’s massive disability-benefits backlog, a disturbing pattern of preventable veteran deaths and other patient-safety issues has emerged at VA hospitals around the country. Sadly, the department’s widespread and systemic lack of accountability may be encouraging more veteran suffering instead of preventing it.’
