Military Families Are Getting Shafted By Public Health Insurance

TRICARE should admit wrongdoing and pay past due amounts to the UVP states

It is no secret that America’s veterans are getting the shaft. We have seen these troubling headlines:

A fatal wait: Veterans languish and die on a VA hospital’s secret list

Veteran dies after setting himself on fire outside New Jersey VA clinic

The stories behind these and similar headlines reveal that America has not lived up to its promise to “care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and orphan.”

In fact, military families, specifically the children of military families, face similar obstacles in receiving appropriate and needed care.

If you wonder where the VA’s money goes, ask yourself how a VA lawyer (Thomas Burch) can afford a newish Rolls Royce on a government salary.
