Veterans Need The Help

It is important to have empathy towards social issues that impact our community, because as we may think that it won't happen to us or to our families, we life in a community that things  like veterans are not given medical attention. That many of them are dying from the medication delays. The veterans medical situation is one of the biggest problems happening now. 

Why are there more than 7,000 veterans in the block list to be attended ? Why isn’t the government doing something to help the 2.4 million armed force men and women that have come back from serving and join the civilian life. These veterans are not getting the attention they should after all the hard work they have done to maintain American citizens safe. 

The VA is the one hospital causing medicals delays. More than 125,000 U.S. veterans are being denied mental health services by the VA. The VA have also manipulated lists to hide real health care wait times. A total of thousands and possibly far more have to face the same fate. The waiting, and dying, at the hands of a company that does not care to does who brought peace in the hardest way someone can. The VA is not only making veterans wait for medical attention that is urgent but at least 19 veterans have died because of delays in simple medical screenings like colonoscopies or endoscopies, at various VA hospitals or clinics. Who as to fill out a 23-page claim to get care, or wait months, even years to get an appointment at the VA. 

Veteran dye  waiting for medical attention. The VA data shows that those who receive mental health care from the VA are less likely to commit suicide than those who don't get care. But is the problem, that many veterans are not receiving mental health care. Many veterans attempted to their life. For example, veteran burned himself alive outside VA clinic. Situations like this happen when veterans are not given the attention they need to get better. And let's not talk about the dozens of veterans that had died while waiting for care at the Phoenix VA. Which was, unfortunately, just the tip of the iceberg. In 2014, 20 veterans committed suicide daily. 

Less stop ignoring what is going on in our community and less start helping does veterans that need medical attention as soon as possible. Less make the VA acknowledge the help, does that have fought for the safety American citizens have.
