Lawmakers say over-budget Denver VA hospital's future is still up in the air because VA hasn’t come up with an acceptable plan for funding it, according to an article on the Washington Times website.
The hospital is expected to cost more than $1.7 billion, nearly triple an estimate the VA gave last year. Medical equipment, furniture and staff training will cost an additional $340 million.
The VA wants to finish the Denver hospital with $730 million from a $5 billion fund that Congress set up to reduce wait times for veterans. Lawmakers rejected that plan.
The department launched two internal investigations and has promised to punish those responsible for the problems, but no firings have been announced, angering many members of Congress.
