Why do we need a VA hospital next to the Cleveland Clinic? In Columbia, Missouri there is an old VA hospital next to a state of the art MIZZOU hospital. All these hospital do is photo ops for politicians at grand opening ribbon cutting ceremonies. After that, they serve no purpose.
I agree with you, and to my way of thinking, each and every injured veteran should be automatically enrolled in the very same gold plated health care program that our elected officials in the Congress are provided with, and they should receive priority in urgent medical care under any and ALL conditions.
