Overview
Americans were shocked in 2014 to learn of potentially deadly delays in care for veterans at VA facilities throughout the US. Just as disturbing was the realization that VA administrators were not only aware of the delays, but also actively and illegally disguising the problem in pursuit of personal financial gain. Very few Americans, however, likely guessed at the true, chilling breadth of the abuse and neglect to which veterans are routinely subjected within the Veterans Health Administration. In Mission Betrayed, Professor Michael J. Mann, MD, of the prestigious University of California, San Francisco, unabashedly chronicles the unnecessary suffering, at times to the point of death, inflicted upon American veterans even after they achieve access to a system propped up on intentionally misleading statistics of "quality of care." Drawing on both real-life stories of veterans who have been needlessly harmed or killed as well as personal experience from a 20-year exposure to the VHA, MiMission Betrayed sheds a harsh light on the toxic, destructive reality of the modern Veterans Health Administration. Going well beyond the delayed appointments of the Waitlist Scandal of 2014, Professor Michael J. Mann, MD, documents the unnecessary suffering, at times to the point of death, inflicted upon American veterans. The book unveils a system propped up on deceptive statistics, and on a carefully crafted concealment of the mediocrity, indifference, and malice that have persisted despite a so-called "VA transformation." Filled with real life stories of veterans who have been needlessly harmed or killed, the book exposes the system's desperate desire both to maintain and to disguise the shocking truth behind its present day appearance. Mission Betrayed exposes both medical and administrative VA practices, including the withholding of potentially life-saving surgeries, that reveal the public outrage to date to be focused only on a very small facet of an enormous, seething crisis.
