Young veterans ignored says study to Congress
A Ralph Nader investigator told Congress that the government has turned a deaf ear to urgent medical educational and employment needs of young Vietnam veterans. Paul Starr of Harvard led an 18 month analysis funded by Nader’s Center for the Study of Responsive Law noting only 23 percent of VA funds would aid Vietnam era servicemen and 15 percent for those who served in Southeast Asia. He urged absorbing VA hospitals into a nationwide health system with broader health insurance and financing treatment at hospitals of veterans’ choice.
