‘We Need To Fix This’: Competing Veteran Health Bills Seek To Address Toxic Exposures
Vets   

By Hannah Ray Lambert | April 12, 2021

In the summer of 2018, Oscar Olvera was sitting at a bar, complaining to his friends that he had been “feeling weird” with aches and pains. That fall, he developed migraines and fatigue so severe he missed a month’s worth of school and ultimately had to drop out. He went to a VA doctor who did some blood work but couldn’t find anything wrong. The next spring, a vein in Olvera’s neck started popping out. Several visits later a doctor ordered a chest X-ray, revealing numerous tumors.

“I was 28 years old, and I had lung cancer,” Olvera said. “That doesn’t happen. That’s just not a thing.”

According to the American Cancer Society, the average age at which a person is diagnosed with lung cancer is 70.

When that has all been accomplished, the government can throw the left overs to troops. 999yawn
