It is a misconception that our veterans receive free or affordable healthcare. As much as $6 Billion in veteran and military medical debt is burdening our bravest. 

https://endveterandebt.org/ is the parent initiative Jerry Ashton’s group of several campaigns to mitigate the harms that can impact veterans including risk of suicide, unemployment, addiction, and poor health.   https://endveterandebt.org/campaigns.

One campaign that this report focuses on is the campaign to End Veteran Medical Debt. Ways you can support this campaign are detailed. They include Signing a petition, contacting your congressperson, and following on Facebook and Twitter.

Jerry’s group has been also working for years on retiring medical debt for the general public with RIP Medical Debt.org. To date, that initiative has retired about $10 Billion in medical debt; erasing that burden from the lives of 7 million americans.
