Soldiers been getting hosed since the civil war. That aside, why not give permanent free health care to all soldiers with Veteran status? Our politicians get it, and all they did was sit at a desk whilst corrupting and pillaging. This makes me angry . Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenhoeve Posted September 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Define Veterani dunno, how does the VA define a veteran? anyone who participates in armed conflict.and let's not start the socialized med debate please. vets only. why not? these people risk their jerk and we can't take care of them? what IS with that? If that legislation ever hit the floor, I dare anyone to vote against it.I'm just saying we spend a lot of money on a lot of things and this really seems like a no brainer.

Go to saabcenteral.net hippy! Ouch, the Saab shot. Goin' below the belt. You know it took like 25 years for the VA to finally cover stuff related to agent Orange exposure in Vietnam. They spent a lot of time and money denying that stuff, seems to be the theme here as well. After all, they did say you are 30% more likely to come down with Lou Gehrigs if you were in DS. Not to mention PTSD.Disability insurance is hella expensive. I just think there is plenty of uncertainty. Added to which fact at this point I'm pretty sure if you were in DS, no insurance company will even give you disability coverage. Do you have it? They'll deny for almost anything and short of that they'll require waivers for anything that might lead to a condition, even stress. It's crazy.
