VA won't pay for cancer-stricken vet's treatment yet illegals can get free medical care

VA won't pay for cancer-stricken vet's treatment yet illegals can get free medical care

Andrea Lynn, her voice breaking, says that while her veteran husband did receive a gold card, Ben Taub delared they would nonetheless send him back to the VA as it is the VA's responsiblity to take care of veterans' health needs. And therein lies a dirty cycle. It does seem a bit disingenuous to hand a gold card to folks who are not even supposed to be in the country, but a United States veteran is declined treatment in his own country?
