When it comes to veterans health care, the gap between Republican U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson and Democrat Russ Feingold goes deeper than a political blame game.

Shane Sanderson is a U.S. Army veteran from Sheldon who fought in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. In a recent interview with the Wisconsin State Journal, Sanderson credited the mental health care for post-traumatic stress disorder he got from a VA clinic in Rice Lake. “It probably saved my life,” Sanderson said.
