The CNN investigative
piece found that at least 19 veterans died because of delays in simple
medical screenings like colonoscopies or endoscopies at various VA
facilities, according to an internal agency document.
They were among 82 people
who have died or are dying or have suffered serious injuries as a
result of delayed diagnosis or treatment for colonoscopies or
endoscopies.
"This is an outrage!
This is an American disaster!" Rep. Jackie Walorski, an Indiana
Republican, nearly screamed, her voice quavering.
