Veterans rights and care

Veterans rights and care

The Issue

Every veteran deserves to be treated with honor and respect. Numerous times we veterans put up with poor care, ignorant care staff, and high priced copays for medications. Doctors and nursing staff as well as national and regional leaders and points of contact for veterans seem dismissive, unconcerned, and genuinely burned out. We allow this due to veterans being taught to, "hurry up and wait" as a rule. We don't want to complain and make waves but we deserve so much more. I have personally witnessed veterans from the Korean, WW2, Vietnam, Gulf war, as well as the current conflicts globally be served substandard care and treatment.

VA- Hire veterans, hire trained staff, test them often & support us as we did you.
