Good Talks: How VA Bureaucracy Hindered Vet Benefits While COVID Relief Flowed w/ Ashley Merryman
Published 4 years, 7 months ago
Description
On this Heard Tell Good Talks, we follow up on the story we covered last week about Veterans Affairs and the bureaucracy that is failing our vets, especially older vets who need care the most with author Ashley Merryman. This story is personal to her as she uses the example of her own family member, explains why those stories break through where the statistics do not, and why we have such a bad record of improving things at the VA. Ashley also points out that while government moved heaven and earth with COVID-19 relief, no such measures where taken for veterans even as COVID-19 protocols prevented their care and slowed their applications for benefits.
