Isaac Shawn Sims, 26, an Iraq veteran, turned to the Kansas City VA Medical Center for help, he was allegedly turned away. His mother, Patricia, says her son badly needed treatment for traumas suffered in combat.
On Sunday, Sims was shot and killed by police officers following a tense standoff.
The tragic story comes as the VA scandal reaches a boiling point.
The VA problem is much worse.
Frightened and worried, they asked the VA for help. They didn’t expect to receive the response that they claim they did.
“They said ‘we don’t have room for you.’ ‘Your problem is not big enough.’ ‘You’ll have to wait.’ ‘Get in line.’ ‘We’ll give him treatment in 30 days if a bed comes available,’†Patricia Sims said.
