Veteran stuck with bad health care
by Brian Bucher—Pennsylvania
I canvassed a Viet Nam veteran who was placed on disability. He had to choose between two health care plans, but he hadn’t been given explanations about the plans. He chose one that covered hospital care, but later found out that the plan he didn’t choose also covers emergency services and doctor’s visits. He cannot switch as the other plan costs too much.
He only receives $1,200.00 a month on disability, but just lost his Medicaid coverage because “he makes too much on disability.”
