Well, the Bush VA has done it yet again. According to this article from Yahoo News/AP the Administration has decided that Vets with a specific income-level who are filing for non-service related coverage can not have access to health care anymore. Well, that's interesting and once again proof that the 1600 Crew will help the those who help them, not to include Veterans.
The interesting part of the article is this quote from the Secretary of the VA, Anthony Principi who says:
I have a son in the Gulf, who may deploy to Iraq, who may fight a war if the president chooses. I think it sends a positive message that the VA is there for those who are disabled in uniform. The VA is there for men and women who come back and within the first two years need VA health care."
Let's look at that last sentence again:
The VA is there for men and women who come back and within the first two years need VA health care."
Do the names Agent Orange or Gulf War Syndrome ring any bells out there? Hell, the guys at that five-sided monument to Murphy's Law who deny the existence of sunrise and determine claims arising from service-connected disabilities can stay in the bathrooms at the Pentagon longer than two years. Where the hell did that come from?
More disrespect every day, and it will never get better until the 1600 Crew is out of work.
