On the campaign trail, the Republican’s presumptive nominee has talked of a new mission for the Department of Veterans Affairs, suggesting that veterans with noncombat medical problems be given vouchers to receive care at private, for-profit hospitals. In other words, McCain is seeking to cut off the kind of universal health care that the government has guaranteed to veterans for generations.
I am a disabled vet and would not enter a VA hospital on a dare unless ordered to. Vouchers for for free care at better, civilian Med Centers? I’ll take that in a heartbeat, and thank John McCain for it!
I don’t like the idea of McCain being President/CinC because the guy has warped into a Socialist. Since we’ve been paying the guys salary I don’t think he has done much at all for veterans or soldiers in Service. So, it’s about time the guy earned his pay and pushed for something like this.
