” Unfortunately, due to the extent and severity of his injuries, he has no option for the rest of his life than the VA. “
Why?
He could have kept his Tricare, but they are dumping them into ObamaCare.
I’m not sure, but I think that his injuries were so severe that he would never be able to get traditional health insurance or afford it, even if it still existed. He will need a constant supply of medical supplies the rest of his life, and I worry that as he gets older the injuries will cause constant low grade agony.
Just about everything in his body from mid-spine to his toes were broken or shattered by an IED. He is pieced back together, can walk with a cane, and control of certain body functions are gone forever.
