"We're filing the lawsuit because we're kind of stuck," Eshler said. "We still haven't heard anything. Every time we've asked about the change, it's next week or the next week. We know it's on the desk of the secretary, but they haven't given us any reasons why it hasn't moved any further. We just want to know why. We want to build trust back."
"We don't have trust in the VA," Eshler explained. "And why would you go to a place if you don't trust them? Especially because you're already vulnerable going into the system. And it's coming from our backyard. It's our own government that places those restrictions on us."
