Glad to see this. I had a heart attack, and had to go to a non-VA hospital, just like this article says. Now, I too have big bills! A veteran should not have to go to a VA hospital in an emergency to get VA benefits.

Why have VA hospitals period?
Take care of our troops and allow them to go to the same hospitals as everyone else. This is insane to have duplicate medical facilities.

What?? Another Health Bill???? Say it so! I thought the Obama-Pelosi-Reed Health care bill that was “too inportant to read, we must sign it now” was the end all.

U.S. Senator Al Franken is Awesome!!

Never been a big Franken fan, but this is a good start – these are our truly needy soldier citizens.

The “soldier citizens” might include Sailors (Navy), Airmen (Air Force) and Marines (USMC) veterans, who might also be women. They may not be “truly needy,” but are they not deserving of health care benefits from the country they sacrificed to serve?
