Largest expansion of benefits for veterans still leaves people out abc15
Burn pit is a term used to describe huge piles of burning jet fuel, tires and other toxic materials usually on or near U.S. military bases overseas. For years, service members who worked or lived near them have been getting sick, but the government didn’t formerly cover preventative care for these illnesses. A new law will change that, but the fight isn't over.
K-2 is an old Soviet airbase located about 100 miles north of the Afghanistan border. Environmental reports that were declassified in 2020 show military members were exposed to things like jet fuel, depleted uranium, asbestos, and lead-based paint. The Stronghold Freedom Foundation says K-2 veterans have been dying from rare diseases and cancers. Natalie White is a surviving spouse who lost her husband, Clayton White, in 2018 to what she believes was a K-2-related illness.
"I was very happy, especially after reading through it and my conditions were listed in that PACT Act," Wilson said."We could afford to make the house a bit more handicap-friendly now." "I do have concerns since he's not covered, none of his illnesses were listed, that we won't be eligible for care," White said.
