Congressman Earl Pomeroy was in Minot today talking with veterans about health care and what is being proposed in Washington to fix the backlog of cases. Pomeroy says the current treatment and process for veterans to get health care in a timely manner is in a sad state of affairs. He says a recent influx of case workers should help get things moving faster but more needs to be done. (Rep. Earl Pomeroy, (D) North Dakota) They've tried to VA health care on the cheap, resulting in unacceptable waiting lines, facilities that aren't getting the job done and basically Vets going without. If there's anybody that's ever earned anything it's those who've served our nation. The Veterans gathered at the Ward County Courthouse also voiced their concerns with different problems with health care like lack of assistance for family members who need more help in their older age. (JB Klug, Veteran) My concern is when you have a disabled member of the family, home health care. in other words how can we allow home care with insurance don't want to pay for home health care. Veterans from World War II up to the current War in Iraq were represented at today's meeting.  « Less
