For too long we have let veterans wait while we study issues with research studies that take years to complete, today [ the ] VA signaled its willingness to start helping veterans who have been waiting, even while additional data may be pending.This is an important change in policy. However, there are many other veterans who were exposed to environmental toxins that are in need of help and are suffering and we need to broaden these policy changes so that veterans no longer have to wait while research is being conducted.
