Overhaul of Veterans' Health Care System Raises Concern in Senate
WASHINGTON (AP) - Senators on Thursday said they were worried that a major overhaul of the Veterans Affairs Department health care system would deprive some veterans of access to treatment.
"There's a great deal of skepticism in the veterans' community," said Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee Chairman Arlen Specter, R-Pa., at a hearing.

1. Why don't we outsource the VA to India?
It would save hundreds of billions of dollars because:
#1, Indians work MUCH more cheaply
#2, most veterans couldn't afford to travel to India to get treatment.

It looks like a winner to me.

2. Dimbo Is Trying To Alienate Everyone
Which is fine with me, but makes me wonder what whistle-ass trick he and Rove are planning to boost his popularity.

It can't be good....

3. Dang straight we're skeptical
Somebody get Bushco out of office before he either gets me killed or cuts my health care completely.
