Sen. Johnson full remarks at Veterans Affairs Committee hearing

His autopsy revealed he had over a dozen different medications in his system. Jason's family is also in the audience here today. On January 12, 2015, Candace Deles brought her father, Thomas Baer, to the Tomahaw VA Urgent Care Center. With stroke like symptoms. Mr. Baer waited over two hours for attention. His family believes he died of neglect. It's hard not to agree. As soon as I became aware of the problems at Tomah, I directed committee staff to open an investigation into the problems of the facility. (01:49–02:03)
