Conclusion: A huge policy success story? The legacy of
Great War health policy.
520 "During and after World War I, policy makers, soldiers,
and veterans laid the groundwork for the extension of
government-sponsored medical care to millions of former
service members. In the process, they built a pillar of
the American welfare state. Legislation and rehabilitation
plans formulated shortly after the U.S. entered the Great
War aimed to minimize the government's long-term
obligations to veterans, but within a decade, those who
had served gained conditional access to their own direct
assistance agency and a national system of hospitals.
Burdens of War explains why that drastic transition
occurred, and how one group of citizens won the right to
obtain publicly funded health services. The story of the
early roots of service-related health policies has a
variety of larger implications. It shows how veterans'
welfare shifted from centering on pension and domicile
care programs rooted in the nineteenth century to the
provision of access to direct medical services; how
shifting ideals about hospitals and medical care
influenced policy at the dusk of the Progressive Era; how
race, class, and gender shaped the health-related
experiences of soldiers, veterans, and caregivers; and how
interest groups capitalized on a tense political and
social climate to bring about change. On a general level,
an examination of the roots of a nationwide veterans'
hospital system demonstrates how privileges were won in
the twentieth-century United States. It reveals a moment
of state expansion, but also illustrates the wider
tendency of the U.S. government to award entitlements
selectively. The policies that paved the way for the
advent of a veterans' medical system thus deserve to be
considered as foundational in the development and shape of
the American welfare state."--Provided by publisher.
