Salon.com has been posting articles on Walter Reed for two years now. One of the articles mentioned that outpatients were being billed for their hospital meals. After the article came out, the Army changed the policy. Hooray for Salon!

Genuine Risk,
Thanks for posting the link.
One thing I can't understand is, since the funding has been approved to the Dept of Defense, how come the money isn't being spent to provide for those that have made such great sacrifice?
Surely, the defense contractors are covered, their shareholders, and also private "mercenaries".
I just think it's very shameful for treating those that served and have been wounded both bodily and mentally to have this situation to come "home" to.
SHAME!!!!!!
