Senate committee subpoenas VA records on vet care in Wis.
The inspector general conducted a 2-1/2 year probe of opiate prescription rates and a culture of fear and retaliation at the Tomah facility but did not publicly release the findings last year. Five months later, Marine Corps veteran Jason Simcakoski, 35, died from mixed drug toxicity as an inpatient at Tomah, days after doctors agreed to add another opiate to the 14 other drugs he was prescribed.

How the VA treats vets is a travesty. My step-dad had fought the VA since 1984 for benefits related to PTSD and TBI incurred during Vietnam. It took two lawyers and an army of VFW reps to help him win his case. Which he finally did in 2014. I just don't understand why the VA can't get their shit together, this has been a problem for a very long time.

Roger that .. but you have to remember that the VA is charged to deny as many claims as possible. Much the same way Insurance Companies deny claims.

Travesty of today's healthcare. Healthy young men and women being poisoned to death. And that statement comes from a medical provider providing chiropractic care for these young men and women. I see the growing list of drugs they are on.

These symptoms these men and women report is daunting. No medical provider can treat all of them. They should looks for the most life-threatening conditions, treat those and send out for cognitive therapy. If you want your drugs, you have to be in counseling....done deal.
