THIS WEEK
Lives on the Line – Click here to watch free on YouTube.
Short video about an Afghanistan war veteran, suffering from chronic pain, who falls victim to a broken system while seeking treatment at the VA. At his breaking point, he meets a disillusioned VA employee who has seen first hand the broken promises made to veterans.
As you know, Veterans put their lives on the line for us but their battle does not end when they come home. Instead, our government has Veterans suffering, and even dying, while waiting for timely health care. The VA could easily provide care they are entitled to receive through our community medical system . Instead, the VA has put up obstacles and bureaucratic roadblocks. Meanwhile, the VA is now abusing and misusing the community care program for unauthorized migrants and non-citizens at the request of border security agencies. This is an atrocious betrayal of veterans who earned that care through their blood, sweat, and countless sacrifices – but find it denied far too often.
Tell your lawmaker to support the The Veterans’ HEALTH Act and the Veteran Care Improvement Act to ensure veterans’ access to community care and veterans are empowered to control their health care options like you can. Excerpts from Concerned Veterans for America (actcentr.com)
