I stand here today beyond frustrated by the crisis in veterans' healthcare in my community. Right now, we have just four physicians and only two mental health clinicians trying to provide care for over 27,000 veterans in San Joaquin…
Politics intervened, and that plan ended up getting rejected just last year, October 22nd.
At the height of COVID, the ICUs in my community were over 100 percent capacity, not because we didn't have the bed space, but because we didn't have the doctors to take care of people.
Obviously, we want to do everything we can to fix this before we become where we are on track to be, which is the first time in U.S. history that a community would be subject to penalties this severe.
