U.S. military conflicts abroad have left nine million Americans
dependent on the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) for medical
care. Their "wounds of war" are treated by the largest hospital
system in the country-one that has come under fire from critics in
the White House, on Capitol Hill, and in the nation's media. In
Wounds of War, Suzanne Gordon draws on five years of observational
research to describe how the VHA does a better job than private
sector institutions offering primary and geriatric care, mental
health and home care services, and support for patients nearing the
end of life. In the unusual culture of solidarity between patients
and providers that the VHA has fostered, Gordon finds a working
model for higher-quality health care and a much-needed alternative
to the practice of for-profit medicine.
