As a disably retired veteran I am appalled to think that anyone would
consider, let alone suggest, closing VA Hospitals. Does that person have
the slightest inkling of what services and benefits are provided by these
hospitals to the veteran?????? Does this person realize that without these
hospitals, alot of veterans would probably go without medical aid? Dumping
the veteran on the local HMO is definitely no benefit to anyone. Many of
these hospitals provide care to veterans that are homeless.
As a lifetime member of Disabled American Veterans, I can tell you that
these hospitals are not only needed, they desparately need financial
support.
Supporting the troops does not end with active duty.
