Do this for my husband, my brotherinlaw, my father.... my son

Sent to the White House... will also be contacting my Congressmen and Reps: President Obama's plan to to require private insurance carriers to reimburse the Department of Veterans Affairs for the treatment of troops injured in service. As a Veteran myself, I find this idea to be outrageous. It has got to be the worst idea ever. If anything, the Government needs to provide MORE money for Veteran's medical issues. To expect the private sector to cover the medical expenses resulting from injuries sustained while serving OUR COUNTRY is beyond ridiculous. Why would I VOLUNTEER to serve if I knew that my Country wouldn't take care of my injuries from any fighting I was involved in. Honestly, are you looking to drive people from Volunteering? President Obama will find stiff opposition to this plan, and I will be one of the voices in that opposition. This plan will fail, and it will fail miserably. The Government needs to take care of its Soldiers and Veterans, past and present. To do anything less is dishonorable, and lessens the sacrifice that Veterans have given past and present. I'm ashamed of our Government to even consider this plan. I will be a voice of opposition to this plan.

as A 60%DAV I agree with you soup

+1 Jeep...I just read this today and can't believe the crap hole our gov't is determined to down. These guys (and gals) are putting their lives on the line for us. Least we can do is take care of them.

I agree with all of you. I think our government is just wacked out.

I worked at the local VA for 7 miserable years. The conditions are not great, and the workload is tremendous. And, they are always screaming BUDGET!!!!! After being on the caring side of veterans with cancer, I have got to say, bullshit! They deserver much, much better!
