Please write/phone Congress about veterans
Edited on Fri Mar-19-04 02:02 AM by Dark Angel
say yes. I say that any person who served their country in any of the services should be entitled to free health care, taxpayer funded, regardless of income level. Right now Bush is discriminating against higher income veterans by making them pay for health care that is not related to a service connected injury. I think that this is bull. These people aren't "RICH". They're making more than 30k a year. That's hardly rich. They deserve free health care, and they deserve it now.

I ask you all to please write or call your Congresspeople and ask them to increase the VA budget 300%. That is what it would take to get every veteran the health care that they need. Right now we spend about 50-60 billion on veterans health care. If we spent 150 billion, we could help so many more people. We could help all our brave veterans.

Here is a link so that you can do this if you wish. I have written my congressman many times about this issue, and called him, and e-mailed him

Here are the phone numbers if you want to call them about it:

http://clerkweb.house.gov/members/mcapdir.php

This site lists the phone numbers of every congressperson.

I am going to post this in the activism forum, too.

PLEASE PHONE/WRITE YOUR CONGRESSPERSON ABOUT THIS ISSUE



Thanks friends. Private message me with any questions, or ask them in the thread.
