There was an article posted yesterday saying the "Concerned Veterans for America" came out against this plan but see this included in the article above:

"Concerned Veterans for America lashed out at Trump's plan for lacking details. It proposes moving vets into private health plans with subsidies to help pay the premiums. But the plans resemble ObamaCare, meaning most vets could face large out-of-pocket costs.

That's a nonstarter. Vets already earned their care. At the VA, they can see a doctor for $15. Maybe Concerned Veterans was fast to criticize Trump because one of their plan"s authors is an adviser to another presidential campaign."

What if a vet wants medical care and not medial insurance?

I understand there is a difference.

The CVA are a pack of liberals who could care less about real veterans...

as veterans are already under ObamaCare in the VA the CVA are lying about Trump..

Plus veterans used to go to private doctors for some care before Obama stopped it and made them get all their care from the VA..

and heres a new thing since Obama..

If the veteran lives within 40 miles of a VA clinic he or she must go to a VA hospital for specialized tests even if the hospital is 200 miles away..(the clinics don’t have the special machinery or specialists/doctors)..

figure that one out and get back to me..

Try $50 for your primary care doc. The meds are reasonable, post primary is Zip.

Last year I had a Bladder cancer removed cost to me was less than a hundred bucks. Had to travel to Mass for the procedure but I will travel for Harvard Med.

I am pretty sure they will be able to see a private doctor for that also. Medicare Advantage is only a $5 co-pay.

I like Trump’s VA plan...

And you know the old saying: “You could give the biggest sand pile to the government and in one day there wouldn’t be a piece of sand to be seen”

So, lets get our government down to where we the people want it, and lets have our House and Senate in Washington D.C. only 100 days to do their jobs, (saving money) and let them be in their States so the people can talk to them...

GO. TRUMP. GO.!!!

Mr. Carson, what experience DO YOU HAVE running a large business with your own money on the line?
How many thousands of employees were paid with money you made off this business?
What sorts of things did you have to do to keep profitable every month? 
How many years did you spend in big business with your own firm?
How successful was your firm.  What was it's value when you took over?  What was then final value?
Did people from around the world recognize your prowess and seek your business management out?
Further, what experience do you have making $100s of million dollar deals? 
What experience do you have making international business deals?
What top national level business tax men, advisers, and accountants did you deal with in your business?
How many of them have agreed to come to the White House and work gratus to get this nation back on track?


Well, I never did any of that, but I did sign books at a Holiday Inn last night.

I don’t understand why VA hospitals exist...You don’t need separate hospitals to go to, all you need are separate ID cards to be used at local hospitals...

Just found this article/post from reading it on another forum. Did a search and was glad to see it’s been posted!

Betsy McCaughey is one of the foremost authorities on healthcare and 0bolaCare....she was the one who sounded the loudest alarms (on Fox every night, numerous time over the years with Levin, articles read by Rush, etc, etc) before the disastrous OCare was forced down our throats.

Great article and great kudos to Trump for looking out for our dear vets!!!
