From the new Presidential website...

Barack Obama and Joe Biden are committed to creating a 21st Century Department of Veterans' Affairs that provides the care and benefits our nation's veterans deserve. They will:

* Allow All Veterans Back into the VA: Reverse the 2003 ban on enrolling modest-income veterans, which has denied care to a million veterans.
* Strengthen VA Care: Make the VA a leader of national health care reform so that veterans get the best care possible. Improve care for polytrauma vision impairment, prosthetics, spinal cord injury, aging, and women's health.
* Combat Homelessness among Our Nation's Veterans: Establish a national "zero tolerance" policy for veterans falling into homelessness by expanding proven programs and launching innovative services to prevent veterans from falling into homelessness.
* Fight Employment Discrimination: Crack down on employers who commit job discrimination against guardsmen and reservists.

I'm one of the vets who can't get care because I have a "moderate income". But even if Obama can't deliver on the promises that were made to me and others like me, I like the rest of his program.

1. I especially like his stand on homelessness

but let's hope he is able to come through on all these issues.
