I think this is something we can all get behind.
Half of us will support it because it will punish those filthy baby killers, and dry up recruitment for the next war, making it more difficult to go around picking fights for bullshit reasons.
The other half will say "Well, see, the thing is, we already paid them. We can't be all giving out free health care to these people every time they complain that their stump hurts."

Quote:
Tea party favorite Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., has unveiled a plan for cutting $400 billion in federal spending that includes freezing Veterans Affairs Department health care spending and cutting veterans’ disability benefits.
Her proposed VA budget cuts would account for $4.5 billion of the savings included in the plan, posted on her official House of Representatives website.
Paul Sullivan, executive director of Veterans for Common Sense, said cutting veterans’ health care spending is an ill-advised move at a time when the number of veterans continues to grow as troops return from Iraq and Afghanistan. Sullivan said he finds it difficult to see how VA could freeze health care costs without hurting veterans.
Kumbaya, motherfuckers.

Seeing as How they have increased 10% a year a freeze seems in order. From your link:
Quote:
VA’s health care budget was $44 billion in 2009, $48 billion in 2010 and is at $52 billion this year.
Further there is this, also from your link:
Quote:
Bachmann’s idea of cutting costs by reducing veterans’ disability compensation by the amount received in Social Security Disability Income is not new. The proposal, which would affect more than 150,000 veterans, has long been on a list of possible budget options prepared by the Congressional Budget Office, which describes the option as a way to “eliminate duplicate payment of public compensation for a single disability.”
The average SSDI benefit is $12,800 a year, according to CBO
Why should they get to double dip?

Because they are American soldiers you greedy fuck. I am totally against this obamacare bullshit, but if anyone deserves free health benefits it should certainly be the American soldiers who fight for and defend your freedom to make ignorant comments such as the one above. Suck an Islamic cock you fuckin pussy
That isn't health benefits. And maybe you think they should be given a million dollars every year? Is ten million enough? A hundred million?

A billion dollars? Easy to give away when it isn't your fucking money. Why don't YOU donate 50% of your money to veterans benefits. Until then, shut up.

Gee, I dunno. Why don't you go fight in a war that you were so eager to defend? It's easy to give away when it isn't your life, isn't it?
Suck it up, pansy.

That's pretty stupid. They wouldn't take me. Are you so dumb as to believe that only military people should make policy?

Not really suprising that the cost of health care for Vets would dovetail with rising health costs in general, don't you think?

Double dipping wouldn't be necessary if Veterans benefits were adequate, which they haven't been since the late 1940's.

'nuff said.
Just think: somewhere, in an alternate universe, George Bush has just invaded Iraq and Ted Kennedy is proposing that we kick our heroic disabled veterans out onto the street and Zappa is losing his shit.
