Veterans who have risked everything to protect our country deserve better than impaired doctors making life or death medical determinations. Veterans deserve the best doctors and medical care. Sadly, in this case, and for more than a decade, they received the worst care from one of the worst doctors imaginable.
Dr. Levy has caused irreparable harm to the lives of veterans and their families. The fact that VA administrators allowed Dr. Levy to continue to practice medicine knowing his history of on-the-job intoxication demonstrates their reckless disregard for the safety of veteran service members.
Since its inception, the VA has had a long and troubled history. We have released this video to shed light on another example of the VA’s extreme neglect of our veterans’ health. We call on the United States Congress to effect positive changes to ensure veterans receive care and treatment from the best available doctors and medical care providers. Only the best and the brightest deserve the privilege of treating our heroes.
Furthermore, we call on Congress to reject proposed legislation that seeks to limit a veteran’s right to hold the VA and its doctors accountable for their negligent and reckless conduct or that attempts to place an arbitrary cap on the value of a veteran’s life. Innocent veterans deserve more than watered-down justice.
