DOJ finds state-run veteran care in New Jersey was so bad it violated Constitution
Fox News
The Justice Department has accused two New Jersey veterans homes of violating the U.S. Constitution by providing inadequate care to its residents.
"We owe the veterans who served our nation our deepest thanks, and those veterans and their family members who live in these facilities have the right to appropriate care," Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke said in a statement. "Based on our investigation, we have found that these facilities have provided inadequate protection from infections and deficient medical care, which have caused these veterans and their families great harm."

"We look forward to working with the New Jersey Department of Military and Veterans Affairs to improve the conditions in these homes they operate and ensure these veterans and their families receive the care they need and deserve," she added.
