May I suggest that you contact the History Channel and purchase "The Color of War." Then come back and say ANY person who has served in war-time does not deserve healthcare for his entire life. That is the least we can do as taxpayers. I say good for him and Frist.

The above films put a personal, up close, color view of what devastation war causes. This man and all Vets of our wars, with honorable discharge, deserve personal health care until death for ANY illness.

Agreed!

Every male in my family since the first world war has served. Every male in my family has purchased his own health care plan and does not expect the taxpayer to fund his treatment. My husband is a vet who received an honorable discharge and never in a million years would he ask you or anyone else to pay for his health care. At this time Blue Cross and Blue Shield in NJ has sent us the new rate for a single plan.......$585 per MONTH........big deductible and only 60/40 coverage.

Wouldn't dream of sending you the bill.
