Welcome to this month’s edition of Prescription for Healthcare – a podcast collaboration between the WFHB Local News and Medicare for All Indiana.
In the February edition of the show, hosts Karen Green Stone and Dr. Rob Stone speak with award-winning journalist Suzanne Gordon about how the healthcare system when it comes to the United States Department of Veterans Affairs.
Gordon writes about healthcare delivery and healthcare systems. She authored “Wounds of War: How the VA Delivers Health, Healing and Hope to the Nation’s Veterans.” Her new book on a similar topic comes out in July.
During the interview on Prescription for Healthcare, Gordon explained the VA as a healthcare system – which she admits, very few people understand how it truly works.
“The VA has three sub-agencies – the largest is the Veterans Health Administration – which is the second largest healthcare system in the country and the only, really, single-payer system in the country,” says Gordon.
Listen to the full interview with award-winning journalist Suzanne Gordon to hear our guest explain how the VA delivers healthcare and much, much more.
To your good health, everyone. Stay safe and wear a mask.
