Alex Vancel is an American veteran of the Iraq War. He volunteered after 9/11, and America called upon him to fight on our behalf in the inferno of Iraq. He is an Army Specialist who did one 15-month tour in 2006-2007 in East Baghdad. Since returning, he and his wife have scraped by. They could not afford health insurance, even under Obamacare, and they have been relying on the VA for healthcare. Vancel was working two jobs, one at Best Buy and one as a newspaper press operator, until he became too sick to work. His wife is pregnant with their first child.
Vancel once watched helplessly as his brothers in arms were burned alive in an IED explosion. But he is now fighting his fiercest battle, for his life, against cancer and, he alleges, shocking neglect by the VA, which nearly killed him.
In January, he began feeling intense pain in his tailbone area. He went to the VA outpatient clinic in West Lafayette, Indiana.
This is his story:
