We recently had a to good friend lose his life, waiting on the VA to to schedule various procedures, and he waited and was pushed around so long, he just started going downhill. He passed two weeks ago. VA healthcare needs to work on this!
Liz supported: Implement No-Cost Childcare Solutions at VA Centers to Improve Veteran Healthcare AccessAs a veteran myself, and my wife being a veteran, there have been far too many appointments we’ve had to delay, cancel, or just never follow through on because between work schedules, child care and cost it just wasn’t accessible. Most recently my wife decided she absolutely had to attend an appointment given that she had been waiting and asking to see this specialist for months. If she had declined it could have been another 3-6 months before it was available again. With my job not allowing me to take off on short notice, my wife had to bring our 4 and 2 year old with her. Due to our children being distracting to both her and the provider, several key pieces of information were overlooked, and my wife sent away with no resolution to the health issues she has been suffering with years. If only we had a service like this petition calls for, maybe she would have had a chance to better advocate for her own care. But now it’s back to the drawing board and being bounced around to different doctors until someone is able to help. The stress and toll this is taking on our family is borderline destructive, and we just need help.
Sean supported: Implement No-Cost Childcare Solutions at VA Centers to Improve Veteran Healthcare AccessMy Dad is a veteran and currently taking a medication that costs 600$! Our vets deserve better than this. He was a number!!! He didn’t sign up. He didn’t want to go. But he answered the call for our country at 18!!! And now can barely get decent medical care. If you live in California or Oklahoma. It’s disgusting the care they “provide” to our bravest!
