VA policies miff World War II vet

The Wednesday editorial by the Chicago Tribune about the Veterans Administration was great.

I am a 91-year-old World War II veteran. My mother had five of us in World War II. I have Medicare, Georgia State Merit and VA benefits.

I was in the hospital for an emergency head injury. The bill was $200,000. Medicare and Georgia State Merit paid everything but $5,000. I wanted the VA to pay the balance but was refused. The VA has 100 rules about how not to pay. Joseph W. Reid Dalton, Ga.
