Episode Details

A decorated 17-year veteran, who earned a commendation in Afghanistan and now runs a PTSD charity, is pleading with his son to rethink joining the military — fearing the government’s new $5,000 annual cap on allied health care for veterans will leave service members stranded without critical support. Frustrated by broken promises, he led a protest at Parliament House, laying medals on the lawn to symbolize the cost of neglect. While officials say the cap will boost clinician pay, veterans warn it will cause delays and deny urgent treatment — eroding trust between those who serve and the nation that swore to protect them.
