And while the Billions now spent on getting Obamacare up and going...our Warriors STILL DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH HELP FOR THEIR TRAUMAS AT THE VA!!

Long waits to get PTSD counseling, not enough residential treatment centers with months long wait lists to get in. Just unconscienable!

I receive a VA medical news e-letter, just a few weeks ago an article pointed out that in some areas, veterans are waiting 55 days for initial mental health evaluations. Can you imagine? Realizing you are in need of help, "oh well, take a number and we'll see you late February...." Incredible. I will retrieve the article tomorrow from my work computer and put up a link here.

In Cleveland, they spent a gazillion dollars remodeling the VA hospital -- it now has LESS mental health beds than before.

How the government treats our veterans is indefensible.
