It’s not a ridiculous suggestion and is a core promise America makes with its veterans.

Someone who gives their life for their country should be afforded full medical benefits.

Cut welfare and other non-essential social spending and you’ll find the cash.

Is it too much to take care of those who were wounded or gave their entire life for their country?

I think not.

Wounded vets? No. ALL vets? yes, it is too much to ask. I know, the government “promised”.

DITTO!

Cut the fraud, waste, and let long term medical devices be PURCHASED instead of rented. Many times the rental out weighs the cost of the device. Stop 10 doctors from trooping into someones hospital room and listening to their chest...and then sending a bill for it. Necessary doctors yes, but if you are stopping in to just say high, and collect a fee stop it. And listen when a patient says a generic drug doesn’t work, and they need extra testing because of it and bad reactions to them...waste tax dollars.

We patients could clean up Medicare & TFL better than our lawmakers. We know a lot of what is wrong with the systems.
