VA Under Fire for Treating Illegal Aliens While Ignoring Care for Veterans
VA Under Fire for Treating Illegal Aliens While Ignoring Care for Veterans
DECEMBER 3, 2023 BY D.A. KING
“Under President Joe Biden’s term, the VA has processed 161,000 medical and dental care claims for unauthorized migrants in 2022 while postponing medical care for U.S. veterans.”

The Department of Veterans Affairs is taking heat for putting the care of illegal migrants first over the needs of those who fought for the United States.
Russ Duerstine, executive director of Concerned Veterans for America and a veteran of the United States Air Force, told Fox News Digital he is concerned much-needed care for veterans will be forfeited and instead given to migrants.

It noted that the IHSC spent roughly $352 million in FY23 on a “spectrum of healthcare services” to those in ICE custody.
According to a July report, ICE has hundreds of letters of understanding in which the Health Service Corps (IHSC) of ICE will compensate clinicians at Medicare rates. The VA-FSC’s Healthcare Claims Processing System is used for this, which is a portal that allows clinicians to file and evaluate claims as well as access other services.
However, the agreement sounded alarms for veterans’ supporters as well as ICE and Border Patrol personnel who are veterans, claiming they were not aware of it.
Darin Selnick, who worked as veterans’ affairs adviser on the Domestic Policy Council and as a senior adviser to the VA secretary during the Trump administration, said, “In my position, we would have stopped this because… read the entire article here.
