VETERANS EXPOSED TO NUCLEAR WEAPONS

A class action lawsuit has been filed against the US Government for
allegedly withholding payment of medical costs to Cold War veterans exposed
to nuclear weapons. The suit was filed on behalf of veterans who became ill
after making bombs for the country's nuclear arsenal. The

lawsuit claims Labor Department officials are denying, delaying, and
limiting doctors' orders to provide high levels of home nursing care for
severely ill and dying weapons workers. Some workers have had to wait seven
months or more for their care to be approved, and then at a level less than
their doctors' ordered.

The workers are eligible for the home health care as part of a compensation
program created by federal law in 2001, when the government acknowledged,
after decades of denials, that nuclear weapons workers had faced health
risks that were sometimes hidden from them.
