My husband is a Vet. He has some coverage from the government for health problems that began while in the service. That said, it's a complete battle getting them to pay for and cover what the Govt. told him they would upon his leaving the AF. We're getting bills now from May and June of 08 that should have been covered! Grrrrr!
And people think they can handle health care for the rest of us any better? My nephew developed problems in Iraq that two years later he is still fighting to be covered for. I am sure there are numerous vets who can relate terror stories to us concerning their care. Actually a travesty seeing they are willing to lay their lives on the line for us and they get nothing in return once they come home to us broken. A few weeks ago the Annoited one floated an idea that Vets should pay for their own care because they "volunteer" to go into the service. Shows how much respect he has for those who insure his freedom to continue to be a blithering idiot. This is a bit long, maybe I should have blogged it instead of commenting on my own blog about it.
I really do care what you think. However, if you are rude or use vulgarities, you will be deleted. Let us have an open and intelligent discussion here.
I am a Right-Wing-Nut-Christian-Conservative,clinging to my religion and my guns. Living on the Left Coast. I value family and the sanctity of life.
I love Disneyland and go there, on a regular basis, to play with my grandchildren.
On January 9, 2013 I received my second membership in a club I never wanted membership in to begin with. I am now a mother awaiting reunion with two of my children in Heaven. Kris left us on January 9 and our preborn baby Jeffery Matthew went to heaven in 1971. I know I still have work to do here but I am anxiously awaiting our reunion in heaven.
