You sound surprised.
This “president” and several of his cabinet once called for eliminating the VA and the vets would “Just buy their own insurance”.
Surprised to hear that? I’m not.
I know an ex Army Ranger than basically broke his back being let down onto a roof in Somalia then basically blowing him off the roof several stories high. Now he’s in horrible pain (legs) and they are denying him medication or treatment saying it’s unrelated to his injuries in Somalia. The guy us in so much pain he thinks about taking his own life just to end the pain!
America, where spoiled brats are given all the freebies and your vets ate thrown to the curb after walking through jungles for years in 100 + heat sleeping in tents, barely eating enough to stay alive while taking out bad guys who could much harm to U.S. citizens and they don’t even respect them for it! Makes me boiling mad!
You wouldn’t believe all of the disability scams going on. Even druggies on it, overweight, you name it. I am all about compassion but these under the radar cheats are sapping the strength out of our country. All you have to do is follow one (a probably cheat) for two days and just see how able bodied they are.
Actually, that wouldn't be such a bad idea if they used a voucher/subsidy system. Basically take the money put into the VA (likely even less, without the overhead costs) and let the vets use their voucher to get market-based insurance based on their individual needs.
