The scandal over veterans’ healthcare is deepening. The acting secretary of Veterans Affairs says 18 additional veterans who were kept off official waitings lists have died while awaiting appointments in Arizona. The deaths add to 17 others reported last month. The news comes as Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders reached a deal with Republican Sen. John McCain on a bill that would allow veterans facing lengthy waits to seek private medical care.
