Reporters Mark Benjamin and Dana Priest on Systemic Military Healthcare Problems
Very happy to see that Mark Benjamin of Salon.com is getting credit for his body of work documenting problems encountered in a number of military medical facilities, including Walter Reed. Benjamin's 2005 piece, Behind the Walls of Ward 54, last year's Losing Their Minds and Iraq Sticker Shock are the articles I most remember. Last night, Benjamin was invited on PBS Newshour with WaPo's Dana Priest to discuss the systemic and deep institutional problems that have been reported at Walter Reed and other military and veterans administration hospitals over the past three or more years.
