Your Call 111207 Veterans Day Special--What Kind Of Care Do Our Vets Get Now?

How are wounded veterans being cared for upon returning home from Iraq and Afghanistan? On the next Your Call, we’ll get an update on vets' health care. According to a new report by Physicians for Social Responsibility, healthcare for Iraq vets could top $650 billion. Since the 2003 invasion, at least 60,000 U.S. soldiers have been wounded. The percentage of amputees is the highest since the Civil War. Is the VA prepared to deal with this crisis? It’s Your Call, with Rose Aguilar, and you.

Guests:
Larry Scott, member of VA Watchdog organization

Dr. Evan Kanter, a member of the Board of Directors for Physicians for Social Responsibility
