Washington (EON) – A presidential commission on Wednesday concluded and stated very publicly that they believe that an overhaul of the health care system is needed for disabled veterans.

The commission stated that not only does the health care need an overhaul but new “quality of life” payments need to be made to make up for their life-inhibiting injuries which they sustained during battle defending the country.

The commission wants better diagnosis for the veterans as well as more treatment for brain injuries and post-traumatic stress syndrome. The post-traumatic stress syndrome is something they want guaranteed for all returning veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan.

The panel which is headed by Kansas Republican Bob Dole as well as former Health and Human Services Secretary Donna Shalala stated “We don’t recommend merely patching the system, as has been done in the past.”
