P.S. This new VA secretary is an ex-general who was sent packing after his big mouth got him into trouble with Rumsfeld. This guy is an ass hole. There is a story on him in the latest Disabled Veteran magazine. Everything I read on the ass hole screamed another damned WESLEY CLARK!!!
From spending a lot of time in the VA hospital last year I spent time in the waiting rooms and I met so many great people. What amazed me the most, not one said they would not go back if they were able. The effects of agent orange are horrendous. No legs,diabetes, kidney dialysis, blind, they would go back if they could.
What I think Obama is trying to do is get rid of government funded healthcare and place it all in one big plan. If Obama places medicare, medicaid and VA together, funds it together, he can then say he fixed healthcare. He will take the 2.4 trillion for his marxist agenda knowing few realize how much money the government pays now for these healthcare programs, and he will then raise taxes and say it is for healthcare for all.
wtop.com; Obama says he is committed to preserving a health care system in which government, employers and individuals share responsibility. Many Americans may not realize the government already picks up nearly half the nation's $2.4 trillion health care bill, through programs including Medicare and Medicaid.
Obama does nothing transparently.
