Politico

The shortcomings in veteran healthcare are alarming and unacceptable. Our veterans deserve world-class medical care, which the VA's Spinal Cord Injury/Disorder (SCI/D) System of Care provides. By prioritising this system, lawmakers can ensure the most vulnerable veterans receive the support they need. Neglecting this crucial aspect of healthcare can have severe consequences, including inadequate treatment and reduced quality of life. It's essential to acknowledge the importance of veteran healthcare services and the role of the VA's SCI/D System in providing specialised care. Key issues like healthcare accessibility and veteran support must be addressed to prevent leaving behind those who have served.
