US military veterans in an “acute suicidal crisis” can receive free treatment including inpatient care for up to 30 days and outpatient care for up to 90 days

As of Tuesday, US military veterans in an “acute suicidal crisis” can receive free treatment including inpatient care up to 30 days and outpatient care for up to 90 days. The expanded care was announced by the Department of Veterans Affairs on Friday, and is meant to “prevent veteran suicide by guaranteeing no cost, world-class care to veterans in times of crisis.

According to the VA’s release, the policy will “[p]rovide, pay for, or reimburse for treatment” of eligible veterans’ emergency suicide care, transportation costs, and follow-up care at a VA or non-VA facility, to include 30 days of inpatient care and 90 days of outpatient.

Try psychedelics

When the Sussexes said they wanted to live a life of service this is exactly the kind of thing they could have gone on the road to promote for veterans. Same for programs on mental health and that provide decent shelter for the homeless etc. Instead we got “Spare.” What a waste!

Only Democrats help people.

Pathetic.

It is the state's responsibility to reward dedication.

Meaningless nonsense. This policy is very limited and does nothing for ALL VETERANS. As it stands, if a Soldier serves for a year, gets shot and leaves the military before two years, they get NOTHING free.

Good

Guess why many states have banned abortion? Because they need to replenish their stock of kids gunned down in schools and to replenish their stocks of young desperate cannon fodders for U.S. military bases, for American dead-end wars.

🐮💩

A step in the right direction, but how is this not for everyone yet? Treatments for 'acute suicidal crisis' sounds important enough to be free not matter your background

Don't get 5150d anon just take a jog or drink that wine maybe a joint or something._.
