A Marine Veteran with brutal service-connected injuries just reached out to me — he was denied palliative care and effective pain management at Phoenix VA.
This isn’t rare. Thousands of combat veterans battle severe chronic pain from injuries sustained in service, only to face strict opioid restrictions, long waits, access barriers, and treatment plans that don’t fully relieve their suffering.
The VA has shifted heavily to non-opioid approaches, but for many with extreme combat injuries, it’s not enough. Phoenix VA has a documented history of access problems, and far too many veterans feel the system has slammed the door after they gave everything.
We served. We earned real relief — not endless red tape and dismissal.Phoenix VA and VA nationwide: Do better for our combat wounded. Improve access to effective chronic pain and palliative care now.
Veterans shouldn’t have to fight this hard for the care they earned.
