2. Introduction
• As the leader of National Health Administrators, Joseph (Joe)
E. Fiegoli helps employers and unions establish health care
plans with an emphasis on customer care. Joseph Fiegoli
further contributes to the public wellbeing by supporting a
number of charitable organizations, including Disabled
American Veterans (DAV).
In a recent press release, DAV discussed the status of
legislative support for the 5.5 million family members who
assist disabled and injured veterans in the United States. DAV
explains that it was instrumental in creating legislation that
compels the Department of Veterans Affairs to maintain the
Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers program for
family members who care for severely injured veterans.

3. Veteran Caregiver Support
• While this legislation covers the 1.1 million
caregivers of service members injured after
September 11, 2001, the 4.4 million caregivers of
service members from World War II, Korea, and
Vietnam are not covered by the program.
DAV notes that the proposed Military and Veteran
Caregiver Services Improvement Act of 2015 seeks
to expand family caregiver resources and extend
benefits to all veteran caregivers. According to the
press release, DAV has made expanded support for
caregivers one of its top legislative priorities.
