๐ŸŒŸ IMSPARK: Imagine Equal Care for COFA ๐ŸŒŸ

Imagined Endstate: Imagine a future where Micronesian veterans receive equal access to essential healthcare services. We envision a healthcare system that honors their sacrifices and ensures equitable care for those who served as foreign citizens in the U.S. military.

๐Ÿ“š Sources: Micronesian veterans struggle to get care. (May 28, 2023). The New York Times. Blair, C. (March 1, 2017). Lawmakers Urge Medical Help For Micronesian Veterans. Civil Beat.

๐Ÿ’ฅ What's the Big Deal: The struggles faced by Micronesian veterans in accessing healthcare demand our attention. Limited access to U.S. military hospitals in Hawaii and challenges in obtaining essential medications and treatment highlight the injustice they endure. Bipartisan efforts in Congress are underway to address this issue and support legislation that enables the VA to provide services to veterans living abroad.

Join us in imagining a future where Micronesian veterans receive the equitable care they deserve. Together, we can advocate for justice, honor their sacrifices, and ensure equal access to healthcare. ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿค๐Ÿฅ #ImagineEqualCare #COFAVets #VeteranCare #COFANationals #SocialJustice
