The Health Debt to America’s Warriors

Authors:

The health consequences of military service can take years to materialize, and government agencies have historically been reticent to acknowledge their responsibility for the health conditions experienced by veterans.

This project encompasses work from the entire staff at Military.com looking at several major issues tied to veterans' health care, including elevated cancer rates for some veterans who served in specific jobs, mental health care, and the broad expansion of benefits under the PACT Act.
