Filemon Mordeno gets his weight taken by Dr. Lim during a routine checkup April 11, 2005 in San Francisco. Mr. Mordeno and his wife Mercedes Mordeno are covered by Medicare insurance and Mr. Mordeno, a WWII veteran, recently won the rights to receive VA hospital benefits in 2004. The couple lives off their Supplemental Security Income of $681 per month. With $379 going to pay for rent of their Single Room Occupancy unit, they have very little left for other living expenses. Mr. Mordeno, who fought alongside the Americans during World War II, is fighting for the full veterans benefits promised to the Filipino soldiers at the beginning for the war but later reneged by the U.S. Congress with the Rescission Act of 1946.
