Can Someone Help a Combat Veteran Out?
Question by pompanopete0: Can someone help a Combat Veteran out?
The VA is requireing Veterans to sign a form that states;
Clinic Policy Memorandum 119-2 January, 2005
Viera, Florida
9) I agree to abstain from all illicit drug use. Drug screens testing positive for any substance other than those prescribed for me can result in discontinuation of my controlled substance pain medication.
Yet Federal Law States;
TITLE 38, PART V, CHAPTER 73, SUBCHAPTER III, § 7333
(a) Veterans eligible for treatment under chapter 17 of this title who are alcohol or drug abusers or who are infected with the human immunodeficiency virus shall not be discriminated against in admission or treatment by any Department health-care facility solely because of their alcohol or drug abuse or dependency or because of their viral infection.
I refused to sign a waiver for my healthcare, now my RIGHT to healthcare has been suspended.
Can they do this? Who enforces this Law?
been to all normal channels.
