We try to keep it positive, my dad is a fighter and we try to just keep him motivated to get through this moment. Its just taking on financial issues bad for them right now and sadly I am just now getting my head above debt so its hard to watch without having a lot of power to sway the issues to a better place for them. In the end I believe surgery will give him back his quality of life and will get through this but we are still in limbo waiting to know if and when, healthcare in the USA is horrible in these areas, not their to help but more to collect as much money as they can to help...sad
sounds like a very tough situation,if the health issues werent bad enough i always thought that veterans got pensions and healthcare,so ridiculous
good luck with the fundraising and send your father my well wishes
Now a days, they do get pension but guys like my dad who were drafted into the Vietnam war...they get nothing but the money compensated to them during their time there, that was literally chump change by what my dad tells me. Oh he gets a little healthcare through the VA hospital that covers checkups and prescriptions but the surgery side is half covered, if even that. They don't treat these guys that they forced into war to well here, least not the guys that got sent to Vietnam. Unless they signed up to be there its pretty much a fend for yourself situation. This is why all over the USA we have Vietnam Vets in wheelchairs homeless asking for help, very common sadly with those poor souls
it is a travesty that someone who puts there life at risk in defense of others to be neglected so when in need but im sure banks direly need that few extra trillion while people go without homes food and healthcare, such a joke
Well said. Force people to fight the wars which is big business, government and banks profit, the footsoldiers and vets and rest of the people pay the freight...
