VA tells cancer stricken vet he’s denied benefits; Get a job.

[WHO IS SERAFIN]

Soon enough all Americans will be treated this way if we do not reverse Obama care.

Ken Moore, a Vietnam veteran suffering from cancer who is unable to walk or speak, was denied disability benefits by the Department of Veterans Affairs, and to add insult to injury he was told via a letter to go get a job.

After receiving the jarring letter, Moore's wife, Judy, told WSMV TV in Nashville, "He read it and was like, 'This can't be real. It can't be happening. This is a nightmare.'"

Ken is suffering from cancer and also has lung problems from being exposed to Agent Orange during his service overseas. Because his illness has left him unable to walk or talk, he filed for 100 percent disability last year.

The couple dutifully obtained a doctor's certification from the VA hospital in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, to certify that the veteran's health was too precarious for him to find employment, and they supplied all the requested medical documents.

In the official assessment, the Moore's doctor assured the VA, "I do not think that there is a reasonable likelihood that he will improve to the point that he can return to work."

Despite all this, the Moores were informed recently via a letter that the disabled veteran's condition did not preclude him from getting a job and therefore his claim for 100 percent disability was denied.

"What's he got to do? Does he have to die to prove to them that he can't work?" a disconsolate Judy Moore said.

How sad, hope media attention gets some company out there willing to sponsor his medical treatments. Good PR for them and good health for him. <--- However that's a scenario beneficial for one individual, what about everyone else facing the same/similar problems?

It is worth noting here that Congress and the President (and his family) ARE NOT covered by the health care law they inflicted on the rest of us.

Your remember what Mr. Obama told that one family

Here's the rest of the article that was left out of the OP's post:

The story does have a happy ending, however. Thanks to assistance by the TV news station's Channel 4 I-Team, Ken Moore was finally awarded full disability.
In fact, the government assured the reporters that Mr. Moore's disability will be made retroactive for February of 2013 when he began the process of applying for benefits.

I didnt leave it out it was in the link. The point of posting this is this has become the standard treatment of our vets instead of some rare occurrence. Now if the news people can do this for all the vets that are and have been mistreated across the country that will be some miracle.

How sad, hope media attention gets some company out there

The MEDIA??? You're joking, right Nebulous? The scripted liberal media is bought and paid for by the likes of Ovomit and his administration. Anything negative that has to do with the liar-in-chief is not reported. It could make the rotten prick look bad. The media is NOT our friend.

Seems to have paid off:

One vet helped millions more to go. Local news does tend to be less in the pockets of the politicians in some cases. But unless the news is really going to make this a priority and start pushing for arrests of these people running these VA hospitals across the country. And really getting out there showing the stories of the endless mistreated Vets nothing is going to change. It is already being forgotten and no one is being punished for giving poor quality of care and murdering our vets. This is our future health care around the corner and the media will not do anything that might damage the leftist agenda.
