I'm not sure why you keep talking about this being a Fox story. CNN.COM did the investigation and broke the story with an exclusive interview with Dr. Sam Foote. http://www.cnn.com/2014/04/23/health/veterans-dying-health-care-delays/

I find it baffling that you, as a veteran and user of the VA health system can be so cavalier about what is happening.
